Hundreds of novel composite genes and chimeric genes with bacterial origins contributed to haloarchaeal evolution

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2018
Background Haloarchaea, a major group of archaea, are able to metabolize sugars and to live in oxygenated salty environments. Their physiology and lifestyle strongly contrast with that of their archaeal ancestors.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

An Unexpected Facet of Extremophiles: Their Aesthetic Potential in Artistic Expression

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
In an era marked by environmental challenges and the proliferation of misinformation, the fusion of art and science is a strategy to promote public understanding and appreciation of complex scientific phenomena. We illustrate how the use of extremophiles offers novel avenues for artistic exploration and emphasise the benefits of such interdisciplinary ...

Two Decades of Optogenetic Tools: A Retrospective and a Look Ahead

open access: yesAdvanced Genetics, Volume 6, Issue 3, September 2025.
Optogenetics provides up to millisecond scale, cell type‐specific control of biology using light‐sensitive proteins. This review chronicles two decades of tool development, from microbial rhodopsins and photoactivated enzymes to allosteric switches, surveys broad applications in neuroscience, molecular and cell biology, cardiology, immunology, and ...

Toxicity Assessment and Bioremediation of Deep Eutectic Solvents by Haloferax mediterranei: A Step toward Sustainable Circular Chemistry

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 16, August 6, 2025.
The toxicity and biodegradability of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) can be evaluated using Haloferax mediterranei as a novel model organism. The haloarchaeon metabolizes specific DES components, highlighting its potential for DES bioremediation. These findings support the use of H.

Small RNA Toxin‐Assisted Evolution of GC‐Preferred ErCas12a for Enhanced Genome Targeting Range

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 29, August 7, 2025.
ErCas12a is engineered to target GC‐rich PAMs using a small RNA toxin‐aided positive screening system. The resulting variant, enErCas12a, exhibits an expanded PAM profile and facilitates efficient gene editing in both bacterial and mammalian cells, while preserving high targeting specificity for both canonical and non‐canonical PAM targets.

Occurrence of viable, red-pigmented haloarchaea in the plumage of captive flamingoes

open access: yes, 2021
Flamingoes (Phoenicopterus spp.) whose plumage displays elegant colors, inhabit warm regions close to the ocean throughout the world. The pink or reddish color of their plumage originates from carotenoids ingested from carotenoid-abundant food sources ...
