Solar salterns constitute an exceptional system for the simultaneous study of several salt concentrations, ranging from seawater, the most abundant environment on Earth, to saturated brine, one of the most extreme, which has been scarcely studied. In this study, pigment composition across the salinity gradient has been analyzed by spectrophotometry and RP-HPLC, and the influence of salinity on microbial diversity of the three domains of life has been evaluated by a metataxonomic study targeting hypervariable regions of 16S and 18S rRNA genes. Furthermore, based on the chlorophyll a and retinal content, we have estimated the relative abundance of rhodopsins and photosynthetic reaction centers, concluding that there is a strong correlation between the retinal/chlorophyll a ratio and salinity. Retinal-based photoheterotrophy is particularly important for prokaryotic survival in hypersaline environments, surpassing the sunlight energy captured by photosynthesis, and being more relevant as salinity increases. This fact has implications for understanding the survival of microorganisms in extreme conditions and the energy dynamics in solar salter ponds.
