Cation Binding to Halorhodopsin [PDF]

, 2015
A member of the retinal protein family, halorhodopsin, acts as an inward light-driven Cl– pump. It was recently demonstrated that the Natronomonas pharaonis halorhodopsin-overproducing mutant strain KM-1 contains, in addition to the retinal chromophore ...

Functions of carotenoids in xanthorhodopsin and archaerhodopsin, from action spectra of photoinhibition of cell respiration [PDF]

, 2006
The recent discovery of a carotenoid light-harvesting antenna in xanthorhodopsin, a retinal-based proton pump in Salinibacter ruber, made use of photoinhibition of respiration in whole cells to obtain action spectra [Balashov et al.

To salt or not to salt: Optimized production and sequential downstream processing of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) and bacterioruberin from Haloferax mediterranei [PDF]

This study presents an integrated bioprocess for the sustainable production and simultaneous recovery of two high-value bioproducts – poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and bacterioruberin (BR) – from the halophilic archaeon Haloferax ...

Carotenoid production by Haloferax mediterranei using starch residues from the candy industry as a carbon source

Current Research in Biotechnology
Carotenoids are pigments attracting the attention of several industries due to their antioxidant, biological and coloring properties. Low-cost substrates, such as agro-industrial wastes, are being investigated as a viable option to reduce microbial ...

Expanding genomic resources for heritage science: characterization of selected microbial isolates from salt-weathered historic sites

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionOn historic masonry and plaster, moisture-driven salt crystallization cycles impose mechanical stress and create niches for halophilic and halotolerant microbial communities. Halotolerant/halophilic microorganisms isolated from these man-made

Combined Environmental Stress Responses and Their Influence on Bacterioruberin Biosynthesis: A Comprehensive Review

Next Gen Multidisciplinary Research
Haloarchaea inhabit hypersaline environments that impose multiple stresses, including extreme salinity, intense solar radiation, temperature fluctuations, oxidative stress and nutrient scarcity. These extremophilic archaea have evolved unique adaptations such as the salt in strategy, hyperacidic proteins and the production of the rare C₅₀ carotenoid ...

Examining Interactions between Opsins and Carotenoid Biosynthetic Proteins in Halophilic Archaea [PDF]

, 2017
Organisms have evolved numerous specialized molecules for constantly responding to environmental changes. Examples of such molecules are the light-driven proton-pump rhodopsins, such as bacteriorhodopsin (BR) and cruxrhodopsin (cR), and the carotenoid ...
