Carotenoids as a Protection Mechanism against Oxidative Stress in Haloferax mediterranei [PDF]
, 2020 Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms that in their natural ecosystem encounter several sources of oxidative stress. They have developed different strategies to cope with these harsh environmental conditions, among which bacterioruberin production

Haloarchaea May Contribute to the Colour of Avian Plumage in Marine Ecosystems [PDF]
, 2021 Some seabirds or coastal birds such as flamingos or pelicans display elegant pink or reddish colours. These colours are due to pigments that birds cannot synthesize de novo.

Haloarchaeal Carotenoids: Healthy Novel Compounds from Extreme Environments
Marine Drugs, 2019 Haloarchaea are halophilic microorganisms belonging to the archaea domain that inhabit salty environments (mainly soils and water) all over the world. Most of the genera included in this group can produce carotenoids at significant concentrations (even ...

Archaea, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Halococcus hamelinensis was the first archaeon isolated from stromatolites. These geomicrobial ecosystems are thought to be some of the earliest known on Earth, yet, despite their evolutionary significance, the role of Archaea in these systems is still not well understood. Detailed here is the genome sequencing and analysis of an archaeon isolated from
