Accordingly, as of today (June 2015), around 200 Bacteria and Archaea, many of them novel or unique to soda lakes, have been reported. Based on analyses in the EARS soda lakes, the microorganisms involved in the cycling of carbon, together with nitrogen and sulphur, in soda lakes world...
In a message posted on its website, Genencor states: "In 1998 we commercialised an extramophile enzyme, Puradex cellulase, derived from a new bacillus species found in the Rift Valley soda lakes of East Africa." The company adds that, "Genencor has also introduced indiage neutra, an enzy...
Potential solutions include the identification of alternative sources of water from the 51 watersheds and lakes in Panama, along with projects that can increase storage capacity to ensure water availability for the entire Panamanian population and the Canal’s operation, thereby ensuring its long-term...

Soda lakes are intriguing ecosystems harboring extremely productive microbial communities in spite of their extreme environmental conditions. This makes them valuable model systems for studying the connection between community structure and abiotic parameters such as pH and salinity. For the first time, we...
It assists in enhancing the alkalinity of lakes, maintaining the potential of hydrogen (pH) in water, and has disinfectant properties. Besides this, it aids in lowering the acidity of emissions that are generated from a power plant. It is also a suitable alternative to sodium hydroxide in ...

This effluent of the Solvay process is directed to sedimentation ponds (lagoons), where solid particles settle and the liquid is discharged into rivers and lakes. Unfortunately, this discharge causes significant environmental damage, including contamination of groundwater, riverbeds, and agricultural land...
