Salactin, a dynamically unstable actin homolog in Haloarchaea
mBio, 2023 ABSTRACT 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 much less is known about these proteins’

Archaeal Cytoskeletal Protein CetZ1 Influences Assembly of the Motility Machinery
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 4, Page 433-450, October 2026.The Haloferax volcanii tubulin‐like protein CetZ1 is required for rod‐cell morphogenesis and motility. We show that CetZ1 loss or GTPase inactivation impairs assembly of the motility machinery, including the archaellum base protein ArlD, the chemotaxis adaptor CheW1, and the response regulator CheY.

Improved GFP Variants to Study Gene Expression in Haloarchaea
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 The study of promoter activities in haloarchaea is carried out exclusively using enzymes as reporters. An alternative reporter is the gene encoding the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), a simple and fast tool for investigating promoter strengths. However,

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5284-5299, October 2026.ABSTRACT The single crossover occurring via homologous recombination is a common phenomenon existing among microbes like Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Vibrio natriegens, Gluconobacter oxydans and most cyanobacteria species, threatening the stability of engineered strains and challenging iterative genetic engineering. Among them, we take the fast‐

Materials Research Express, 2021 As good models for developing techniques, Haloarchaea are using as cell factories to produce a considerable concentration of bioplastics, polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), and polyhydroxyvalerate (PHV). In this study, low-cost carbon

Insights on Cadmium Removal by Bioremediation: The Case of Haloarchaea
Microbiology Research, 2021 Although heavy metals are naturally found in the environment as components of the earth’s crust, environmental pollution by these toxic elements has increased since the industrial revolution.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.A novel polyP‐degrading enzyme with an activity differing from those currently known was found in Haloferax volcanii, conferring the ability for this microbe to grow on extracellular polyP. These findings further our understanding of the potential ecological roles of polyP and how archaea metabolise this essential biopolymer.

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 11, Page 3303-3319, June 2026.Characterization of anhydromevalonate phosphate decarboxylase, the UbiD‐family decarboxylase involved in the archaeal mevalonate pathway, was conducted. The enzyme is responsible for the biosynthesis of isoprenoids, such as archaeal membrane lipids, respiratory quinones, and dolichols.
