The human gut archaeome: identification of diverse haloarchaea in Korean subjects
Microbiome, 2020 Background Archaea are one of the least-studied members of the gut-dwelling autochthonous microbiota. Few studies have reported the dominance of methanogens in the archaeal microbiome (archaeome) of the human gut, although limited information regarding ...

Cell division protein CdpA organises and anchors the midcell ring in haloarchaea. [PDF]
Nat CommunMany archaea appear to divide through the coordinated activities of two FtsZ homologues (FtsZ1 and FtsZ2) and another bacterial cell division homologue (SepF), which are part of the midcell division ring. Here, we identify an additional protein (HVO_0739,

Rhomboid proteases: key players at the cell surface within haloarchaea
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionRhomboid proteases are intramembrane serine proteases that play a key role in regulating membrane proteins across all domains of life. However, their function in archaea remains poorly understood.

Phylogenomics of Haloarchaea: The Controversy of the Genera Natrinema-Haloterrigena [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The haloarchaeal genera Natrinema and Haloterrigena were described almost simultaneously by two different research groups and some strains studied separately were described as different species of these genera.

Salactin, a dynamically unstable actin homolog in Haloarchaea
mBio, 2023 Across the domains of life, actin homologs are integral components of many essential processes, such as DNA segregation, cell division, and cell shape determination. Archaeal genomes, like those of bacteria and eukaryotes, also encode actin homologs, but
