Genomic variation and biogeography of Antarctic haloarchaea [PDF]
Microbiome, 2018 Background The genomes of halophilic archaea (haloarchaea) often comprise multiple replicons. Genomic variation in haloarchaea has been linked to viral infection pressure and, in the case of Antarctic communities, can be caused by intergenera gene ...

Life, 2014 In hypersaline environments, haloarchaea (halophilic members of the Archaea) are the dominant organisms, and the viruses that infect them, haloarchaeoviruses are at least ten times more abundant.

Haloarchaea and the Formation of Gas Vesicles [PDF]
Life, 2015 Halophilic Archaea (Haloarchaea) thrive in salterns containing sodium chloride concentrations up to saturation. Many Haloarchaea possess genes encoding gas vesicles, but only a few species, such as Halobacterium salinarum and Haloferax mediterranei ...

The core and unique proteins of haloarchaea [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2012 Background Since the first genome of a halophilic archaeon was sequenced in 2000, biologists have been advancing the understanding of genomic characteristics that allow for survival in the harsh natural environments of these organisms.

Evolution of rhodopsin ion pumps in haloarchaea [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background The type 1 (microbial) rhodopsins are a diverse group of photochemically reactive proteins that display a broad yet patchy distribution among the three domains of life.

Polyploidy in haloarchaea: advantages for growth and survival [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 The investigated haloarchaeal species, Halobacterium salinarum, Haloferax mediterranii, and H. volcanii, have all been shown to be polyploid. They contain several replicons that have independent copy number regulation, and most have a higher copy number ...

Nitrogen metabolism in haloarchaea [PDF]
Saline Systems, 2008 The nitrogen cycle (N-cycle), principally supported by prokaryotes, involves different redox reactions mainly focused on assimilatory purposes or respiratory processes for energy conservation. As the N-cycle has important environmental implications, this biogeochemical cycle has become a major research topic during the last few years. However, although

Searching for species in haloarchaea [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Prokaryotic (bacterial and archaeal) species definitions and the biological concepts that underpin them entail clustering (cohesion) among individuals, in terms of genome content and gene sequence similarity. Homologous recombination can maintain gene sequence similarity within, while permitting divergence between, clusters and is ...
