F1000Research, 2014 The halophilic archaea (haloarchaea) live in saline environments which are found across the globe. In addition to salinity, these niches can be quite dynamic and experience extreme conditions such as low oxygen content, radiation (gamma and UV), pH and ...

Evolution of rhodopsin ion pumps in haloarchaea [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 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. Recent work indicates that this pattern is likely the result of lateral gene transfer (LGT) of rhodopsin genes between major lineages, and even across domain boundaries.

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.

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.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The ubiquity of strictly anaerobic sulfur-respiring haloarchaea in hypersaline systems with circumneutral pH has shaken a traditional concept of this group as predominantly aerobic heterotrophs.

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.

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 ...
