Discovery of anaerobic lithoheterotrophic haloarchaea, ubiquitous in hypersaline habitats [PDF]

, 2017
Hypersaline anoxic habitats harbour numerous novel uncultured archaea whose metabolic and ecological roles remain to be elucidated. Until recently, it was believed that energy generation via dissimilatory reduction of sulfur compounds is not functional ...

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 ...

Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Bioactive Potential of Two New Haloarchaeal Strains Isolated from Odiel Salterns (Southwest Spain)

Biology, 2020
The need to survive in extreme environments has furnished haloarchaea with a series of components specially adapted to work in such conditions. The possible application of these molecules in the pharmaceutical and industrial fields has received ...

Genomic Analysis of Haloarchaea from Diverse Environments, including Permian Halite, Reveals Diversity of Ultraviolet Radiation Survival and DNA Photolyase Gene Variants

Microorganisms, 2023
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation responses of extremophilic and archaeal microorganisms are of interest from evolutionary, physiological, and astrobiological perspectives. Previous studies determined that the halophilic archaeon, Halobacterium sp. NRC-1, which

Amino acid substitutions in cold-adapted proteins from Halorubrum lacusprofundi, an extremely halophilic microbe from antarctica. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The halophilic Archaeon Halorubrum lacusprofundi, isolated from the perennially cold and hypersaline Deep Lake in Antarctica, was recently sequenced and compared to 12 Haloarchaea from temperate climates by comparative genomics.

Mechanisms of metal resistance and homeostasis in haloarchaea [PDF]

, 2013
Haloarchaea are the predominant microflora of hypersaline econiches such as solar salterns, soda lakes, and estuaries where the salinity ranges from 35 to 400 ppt.

Functional genomic and advanced genetic studies reveal novel insights into the metabolism, regulation, and biology of Haloferax volcanii [PDF]

, 2011
The genome sequence of Haloferax volcanii is available and several comparative genomic in silico studies were performed that yielded novel insight for example into protein export, RNA modifications, small non-coding RNAs, and ubiquitin-like Small ...

Halovirus HF2 Intergenic Repeat Sequences Carry Promoters

Viruses, 2021
Halovirus HF2 was the first member of the Haloferacalesvirus genus to have its genome fully sequenced, which revealed two classes of intergenic repeat (IR) sequences: class I repeats of 58 bp in length, and class II repeats of 29 bp in length.

Establishment of a Halophilic Bloom in a Sterile and Isolated Hypersaline Mesocosm

Microorganisms, 2023
Extreme environments, including hypersaline pools, often serve as biogeographical islands. Putative colonizers would need to survive transport across potentially vast distances of inhospitable terrain.

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 ...
