Seasonal Fluctuations of the Seagrass Holobiont under Contrasting Environmental Conditions
(A) The inharmonious state of the Coorong and the different sample types collect with throughout this study. (B, C) Biofilm, including the presence of diatoms and bacteria, attached on the leaves of Ruppia. ABSTRACT Microbial communities are widely recognised as indicative of ecosystem health.

This study tests seasonal controls on airborne microbes in the UNESCO‐listed Bochnia Salt Mine. In summer, relative humidity exceeded the halite deliquescence threshold, coinciding with higher NaCl aerosol and greater densities of halophilic microbes; in winter, humidity stayed below deliquescence and halophilic microbes declined at least 13‐fold while

Thiol biochemistry of prokaryotes [PDF]
The present studies have shown that GSH metabolism arose in the purple bacteria and cyanobacteria where it functions to protect against oxygen toxicity.

Satellites in the prokaryote world [PDF]
Background Satellites or tandem repeats are very abundant in many eukaryotic genomes. Occasionally they have been reported to be present in some prokaryotes, but to our knowledge there is no general comparative study on their occurrence.

Halophilic proteins subjected to below about 15% salt in vitro denature through misfolding, aggregation and/or precipitation. Halobacteria, however, have been detected in environments of fluctuating salinity such as coastal salterns and even around fresh

Abstract While the influence of salinity on microbial diversity is well documented in marine and brackish ecosystems, the impact of different dissolved inorganic ion types remains largely unexplored. In this study, we assessed how ionic composition shapes planktonic bacterial community structure in inland saline aquatic habitats, compared to the ...

Lipid composition of integral purple membrane by 1H and 31P NMR
In the purple membrane (PM) of halobacteria, lipids stabilize the trimeric arrangement of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) molecules and mediate the packing of the trimers in a regular crystalline arrangement.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes
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 ...

Photoenergy transduction in halobacterium halobium [PDF]
The structure and function of a rhodopsin-like pigment bacteriorhodopsin, discovered and isolated from the membranes of the halophile Halobacterium halobium, were studied.
