Nanohaloarchaea as beneficiaries of xylan degradation by haloarchaea
Microbial Biotechnology, 2023 Abstract Climate change, desertification, salinisation of soils and the changing hydrology of the Earth are creating or modifying microbial habitats at all scales including the oceans, saline groundwaters and brine lakes.

Optimising PHBV biopolymer production in haloarchaea via CRISPRi-mediated redirection of carbon flux
Communications Biology, 2021 Lin et al. investigate the use of CRISPRi technology in haloarchaea to regulate the metabolic pathways related to PHBV synthesis to increase PHBV production in H. mediterranei.

Ancient origin of the divergent forms of leucyl-tRNA synthetases in the Halobacteriales
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has greatly impacted the genealogical history of many lineages, particularly for prokaryotes, with genes frequently moving in and out of a line of descent.

Haloarchaea swim slowly for optimal chemotactic efficiency in low nutrient environments
Nature Communications, 2020 Brownian motion places the ultimate limit on microorganisms’ ability to navigate. Thornton et al. show that Haloarchaea have a strategy of slow swimming and infrequent reorientation that exploits the randomising nature of Brownian motion to achieve ...

Analysis of haloarchaeal twin-arginine translocase pathway reveals the diversity of the machineries
Heliyon, 2019 The twin-arginine translocase (Tat) pathway transports folded proteins across the plasma membrane and plays a critical role in protein transport in haloarchaea.

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 ...

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 ...
