The haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei is a potential producer of PHBV (100% biodegradable plastic) from inexpensive carbon sources. We previously reported that H.

Novel Extended Tetraether Lipids Found in a High‐CO2 Geyser
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.

Two enzymes from the Thermus thermophilus lysine biosynthetic pathway, LysZ and LysY, unexpectedly exhibit substrate promiscuity. They are able to recognize the LysW intermediates utilized by the ArgW‐mediated arginine route, even though the bacterium already possesses the canonical arginine biosynthetic pathway.

Haloarchaea are mostly components of the microbial biomass of saline aquatic environments, where they can be a dietary source of heterotrophic metazoans or contribute to flamingo's plumage coloration. The diversity of secondary metabolites (SMs) produced

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

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

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

Heavy metals are essential micronutrients at low concentrations, serving as cofactors for relevant microbial enzymes (i.e., respiratory nitrate and nitrite reductases NADH dehydrogenase-2, amine oxidase, etc.), but they become harmful cellular ...

The origin of methanogenesis can be traced to the common ancestor of non-DPANN archaea, whereas haloarchaea (or Halobacteria) are believed to have evolved from a methanogenic ancestor through multiple evolutionary events.

Abstract The Permian–Triassic environmental crisis triggered fundamental changes in marine ecosystems, culminating in the most severe biodiversity crisis of the Phanerozoic. Yet, the environmental and geochemical conditions governing the crisis and ecosystem recovery remain debated.
