Origin of MedSea deep brine pools. 2. Different types of brines Early stage evaporites Late stage evaporites Extreme evaporite conditions Brine of Discovery Basin has the highest salinity ever found in marine environment and one of the most salted ecosystem on our planet. The brine lake, found in December 1993, has the surface area of about 7.5 km 2 and a volume of nearly 2x10 8 m 3

All MedSea deep anoxic basins possess vast unexplored microbial diversity Van der Wielen et al., Science, 2005, 121-3 Daffonchio et al., Nature, 2006, 203-7 Borin et al., PNAS, 2009, 9151-6

Functioning of DHAL ecosystems: understanding the biogeochemical pathways that sustain DHALs microbial metabolic network systems

All MedSea deep anoxic basins possess highly stratified microbial communities How and when these communities were formed?

Surface sediments of Discovery Basin have been in contact with bischofite brine for only 2,000 years. Within this short period the Discovery Basin must have been filled at an average of almost 10,000 m 3 yr -1 (Nature 1997, 387:31-32). Highest limit for cultivation in pure Mg ++ is approx. 1M (Waino et al., Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol., 2000) Highest limit of life in solution of bischofite (MgCl 2 ) is 2.23M (Hallsworth, Yakimov et al. Environm Microbiol, 2007)

In case of deep-sea anoxic hypersaline thalasso- and athalassohaline ecosystems we are facing the existence of peculiar microbial world whose genomic information is yet hidden for us up to now and we cannot go deeper into analysis of functional genes simply because there are no cultivated analogues known. To metagenome or not to metagenome?

Two major metabolic features, fully functional sulfur metabolism and chemolithoautotrophy, detected by amplification and analysis of functional genes, were plotted against metagenome sequencing data to compare the outcomes of these two analytical platforms: SULPHUR METABOLISM OXIDATION --sulfide:quinone reductase SQR (oxidation of sulfide to elemental S0) --fully functional SOX system (sulfite-, thiosulfate-, sulfur- and hydrogen sulfide reduction) REDUCTION --polysulfide (oxido)reductases --dissimilatory sulfite reductases ASSIMILATION (in less extend) --Few sulphate transporters and no ATP-sulfurylases other than of Delta-PB
