Colorful World of Microbes: Carotenoids and Their Applications
Advances in Biology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Microbial cells accumulate pigments under certain culture conditions, which have very important industrial applications. Microorganisms can serve as sources of carotenoids, the most widespread group of naturally occurring pigments. More than 750 structurally different yellow, orange, and red colored molecules are found in both eukaryotes and ...

Carotenoids from Haloarchaea and Their Potential in Biotechnology
Marine Drugs, 2015 The production of pigments by halophilic archaea has been analysed during the last half a century. The main reasons that sustains this research are: (i) many haloarchaeal species possess high carotenoids production availability; (ii) downstream processes

Archaea, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The archaeon Haloferax mediterranei was selected for production of PHA co‐ and terpolyesters using inexpensive crude glycerol phase (CGP) from biodiesel production as carbon source. CGP was assessed by comparison with the application of pure glycerol. Applying pure glycerol, a copolyester with a molar fraction of 3‐hydroxybutyrate (3HB) of 0.90 mol/mol

Archaea, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Archaeal viruses represent one of the least known territory of the viral universe and even less is known about their lipids. Based on the current knowledge, however, it seems that, as in other viruses, archaeal viral lipids are mostly incorporated into membranes that reside either as outer envelopes or membranes inside an icosahedral capsid. Mechanisms

Archaea Signal Recognition Particle Shows the Way
Archaea, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 Archaea SRP is composed of an SRP RNA molecule and two bound proteins named SRP19 and SRP54. Regulated by the binding and hydrolysis of guanosine triphosphates, the RNA‐bound SRP54 protein transiently associates not only with the hydrophobic signal sequence as it emerges from the ribosomal exit tunnel, but also interacts with the membrane‐associated ...

Lipids of the ultra‐thin square halophilic archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi
Archaea, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 177-183, 2008., 2008 The lipid composition of the extremely halophilic archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi was investigated by thin‐layer chromatography and electrospray ionization‐mass spectrometry. The analysis of neutral lipids showed the presence of vitamin MK‐8, squalene, carotene, bacterioruberin and several retinal isomers.
