Haloferax volcanii, as a Novel Tool for Producing Mammalian Olfactory Receptors Embedded in Archaeal Lipid Bilayer

open access: yesLife, 2015
The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of using an archaeal microorganism as a host system for expressing mammalian olfactory receptors (ORs).

Functionalized Membrane Domains: An Ancestral Feature of Archaea?

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Bacteria and Eukarya organize their plasma membrane spatially into domains of distinct functions. Due to the uniqueness of their lipids, membrane functionalization in Archaea remains a debated area. A novel membrane ultrastructure predicts that monolayer

Morphology, biophysical properties and protein-mediated fusion of archaeosomes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
As variance from standard phospholipids of eubacteria and eukaryotes, archaebacterial diether phospholipids contain branched alcohol chains (phytanol) linked to glycerol exclusively with ether bonds.

Universal and Lineage‐Specific Patterns in the Distribution of ECOD Domain Homology Groups Across Superkingdoms

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are built from modular domains that serve as fundamental units of structure and evolution. While individual domains have been extensively cataloged, their collective distribution across the lineages of life has remained poorly resolved.

A laboratory experiment of intact polar lipid degradation in sandy sediments [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2011
Intact polar lipids (IPLs) are considered biomarkers for living biomass. Their degradation in marine sediments, however, is poorly understood and complicates interpretation of their occurrence in geological samples. To investigate the turnover of IPLs, a

Investigating GERMs: how genotype, environment, and rhizosphere microbiome interactions underlie heat response in maize and sorghum

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Three genotypes – a heat‐resistant maize (Zea mays), a heat‐susceptible maize, and a sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) variety – were grown to the V4 stage in growth chambers under optimal conditions or subjected to heat stress. Plants were grown in soil containing a complex microbial community, or in the same soil with a depleted microbiome.

Lipid-protein stoichiometries in a crystalline biological membrane: NMR quantitative analysis of the lipid extract of the purple membrane

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2002
The lipid/protein stoichiometries of a naturally crystalline biological membrane, the purple membrane (PM) of Halobacterium salinarum, have been obtained by a combination of 31P- and 1H-NMR analyses of the lipid extract.

Advances in large DNA fragment assembly for microbial cell factory engineering

open access: yesQuantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The efficient, rapid, and reliable assembly of DNA fragments is essential for advancing metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. With the rapid advancement of DNA synthesis and assembly technologies, the scale of DNA assembly has expanded from single genes to metabolic pathways and even genomes.

Gemella morbillorum Promotes Colorectal Carcinogenesis: LPBDCP‐Mediated Invasion Activates Ras Signaling and Destabilizes p53

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 34, 19 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota dysbiosis promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis. A global fecal metagenomic analysis identified Gemella morbillorum as a key contributor to the CRC‐associated microbiota. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that Gemella morbillorum is enriched in CRC tumor tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues.
