A novel mechanism for translation initiation operates in haloarchaea [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2009
SummaryFour different mechanisms for translation initiation are known, i.e. one prokaryotic mechanism involving a Shine–Dalgarno sequence, two eukaryotic mechanisms relying on ribosomal scanning or internal ribosomal entry sites, and one mechanism acting on leaderless transcripts.

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 913-926, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

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.

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 751-803, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Decoding the Chemical Language of Ribosomally Synthesized and Post‐Translationally Modified Peptides from the Untapped Archaea Domain

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 24, June 10, 2025.
Secondary metabolites (SMs) are essential across all life domains, yet those originating from the Archaea domain remain poorly understood. Here, the systematic genome mining and the pioneering heterologous expression of archaeal SMs have revealed the chemical landscape of archaeal lanthipeptides, showing both canonical and non‐canonical forms.

Ubiquitousness of Haloferax and Carotenoid Producing Genes in Arabian Sea Coastal Biosystems of India

Marine Drugs, 2021
This study presents a comparative analysis of halophiles from the global open sea and coastal biosystems through shotgun metagenomes (n = 209) retrieved from public repositories. The open sea was significantly enriched with Prochlorococcus and Candidatus

Novel Extended Tetraether Lipids Found in a High‐CO2 Geyser

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
Characterisation of the archaeal lipidome of the CO2‐rich subsurface aquifer of the Geyser Andernach reveals novel extended tetraether lipids analogous to extended archaeols, likely produced by Candidatus Altiarchaeum, and potentially functioning as a membrane adaptation strategy to nutrient‐deprived conditions.

Denitrifying haloarchaea: sources and sinks of nitrogenous gases [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2017
Haloarchaea thrive under saline and hypersaline conditions and often dominate microbial communities in saltmarshes, salted lakes/soils and some oceanic areas. Some of the predominant species show denitrifying capabilities, although it remains unclear whether they are complete or partial denitrifiers.

Characterization of Polyhydroxybutyrate, PHB, Synthesized by Newly Isolated Haloarchaea Halolamina spp.

Molecules, 2022
This work aims to characterize the haloarchaeal diversity of unexplored environmental salty samples from a hypersaline environment on the southern coast of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, looking for new isolates able to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Thus,
