Inteins as indicators of gene flow in the halobacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 This research uses inteins, a type of mobile genetic element, to infer patterns of gene transfer within the Halobacteria. We surveyed one hundred and eighteen genomes representing twenty-six genera of Halobacteria for intein sequences.

Lipidomic chemotaxonomy aligned with phylogeny of Halobacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Archaea play an important role in global biogeochemical cycles and are considered ancestral to eukaryotes. The unique lipid composition of archaea, characterized by isoprenoid alkyl chains and ether linkage to glycerol-1-phosphate, offers valuable ...

Biosynthesis of the Purple Membrane of Halobacteria [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English, 1976 AbstractHalobacteria are extremely specialized organisms. They live exclusively in saturated solutions of common salt. The cell membrane of these bacteria exhibit insular regions which can be isolated by membrane fractionation. These regions consist of a lipid matrix containing bateriorhodopsin molecules in a hexagonal crystalline arrangement ...

Colorectal Cancer Archaeome: A Metagenomic Exploration, Tunisia [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a serious public health problem known to have a multifactorial etiology. The association between gut microbiota and CRC has been widely studied; however, the link between archaea and CRC has not been sufficiently studied.

The sensitivity of halobacteria to antibiotics [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1984 Eleven species of the genera Halobacterium, Halococcus and the recently proposed Haloarcula were tested by the macro-broth dilution method for their sensitivity to 20 antibiotics with different modes of action. The most active were bacitracin, erythromycin, haloquinone, rifampicin and novobiocin. Resistant mutants of H.

Plant species-specific rhizobiome assembly in the hyper-arid Atacama Desert [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe hyper-arid core of the Atacama Desert represents one of the oldest and driest regions of the world and is characterized by high aridity (precipitation <2 mm y−1), hypersaline soil conditions, extremes in temperature (−5 °C to 50 °C), intense UV ...

Novel insights into the diversity of halophilic microorganisms and their functioning in hypersaline ecosystems [PDF]
npj BiodiversityOur understanding of the microbial diversity inhabiting hypersaline environments, here defined as containing >100–150 g/L salts, has greatly increased in the past five years. Halophiles are found in each of the three domains of life.
