Brief review of phototrophs in the Crimean hypersaline lakesand lagoons: diversity, ecological role, the possibility of using

Widespread, including in Crimea, hypersaline waters are among the most extreme habitats of the planet. The need to adapt organisms to living in polyextreme environment has led to the development of a variety of adaptive mechanisms with a synthesis of unique secondary metabolites, which makes organis...
