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

Variable rRNA gene copies in extreme halobacteria
Using PFG electrophoresis techniques, we have examined the organization of rRNA gene in halobacterium species. The results show that the organization of rRNA genes among closely related halobacteria is quite heterogeneous.

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.

Precise Capture of Membrane Proteins Using DNA‐Origami‐Constrained Nanodiscs
A designed DNA origami structure ensures manipulates and inserts an individual membrane protein in a single, captured nanodisc. Membrane proteins play a key role as cellular gatekeepers, regulating the flow of information and material across lipid membranes.

Systems analysis of bioenergetics and growth of the extreme halophile Halobacterium salinarum [PDF]
Halobacterium salinarum is a bioenergetically flexible, halophilic microorganism that can generate energy by respiration, photosynthesis, and the fermentation of arginine.

Characterizing Restriction-Modification Systems and DNA Methyltransferases in the Halobacteria
The Halobacteria are a class of archaeal organisms which are obligate halophiles. Several studies have described the Halobacteria as highly recombinogenic, yet members even within the same geographic location cluster into distinct phylogroups, suggesting

Extremely halophilic Archaea from ancient evaporite deposits.
Extremely halophilic Archaea (halobacteria) were isolated from salt deposits of diverse geographical locations and ranging in geological age from Permian (250-260 million years (Ma)) to Recent.

Exploring tRNA gene cluster in archaea
BACKGROUND Shared traits between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are helpful in the understanding of the tree of life evolution. In bacteria and eukaryotes, it has been shown a particular organisation of tRNA genes as clusters, but this trait has not been ...

Martian Water: Are There Extant Halobacteria on Mars? [PDF]
On Earth, life exists in all niches where water exists in liquid form for at least a portion of the year. On Mars, any liquid water would have to be a highly concentrated brine solution. It is likely, therefore, that any present-day Martian microorganisms would be similar to terrestrial halophiles. Even if present-day life does not exist on Mars, it is
