Population and genomic analysis of the genus Halorubrum [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 The Halobacteria are known to engage in frequent gene transfer and homologous recombination. In order for stably diverged lineages to be maintained there must be some checks on the rate of recombination between them.

Anaerobic growth of halobacteria.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1980 An energy-transducing pathway in halobacteria is described. Arginine mediates substrate level phosphorylation and allows the cells to grow anaerobically. Bacteriorhodopsin plus light can function as an alternative energy source under these conditions, provided the cells contain the pigment when transferred to the anaerobic environment.

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.

The double histone fold: Structure, functional implications across the tree of life and relevance to protein design. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract The histone fold is one of the most ancient and versatile structural motifs in protein biology, best known for its role in chromatin organization. A remarkable variation of this motif is the double histone fold (DHF), in which two histone folds are encoded within a single polypeptide chain and assemble intramolecularly into a histone‐like ...

The archaeal class Halobacteria and astrobiology: Knowledge gaps and research opportunities
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Water bodies on Mars and the icy moons of the outer solar system are now recognized as likely being associated with high levels of salt. Therefore, the study of high salinity environments and their inhabitants has become increasingly relevant for ...

Halovirus HF2 Intergenic Repeat Sequences Carry Promoters
Viruses, 2021 Halovirus HF2 was the first member of the Haloferacalesvirus genus to have its genome fully sequenced, which revealed two classes of intergenic repeat (IR) sequences: class I repeats of 58 bp in length, and class II repeats of 29 bp in length.

Characterization of plasmids in halobacteria [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1981 Extrachromosomal, covalently closed circular deoxyribonucleic acid has been isolated from different species of halobacteria. Three strains of Halobacterium halobium and one of Halobacterium cutirubrum, all of which synthesize purple membrane (Pum+) and bacterioruberin (Rub+), contain plasmids of different size which share extensive sequence homologies.

Haloglomus irregulare gen. nov., sp. nov., a New Halophilic Archaeon Isolated from a Marine Saltern [PDF]
, 2020 A halophilic archaeal strain, designated F16-60T, was isolated from Isla Cristina marine saltern in Huelva, Spain. Cells were pleomorphic, irregular, non-motile, and Gram-stain-negative. It produced red-pigmented colonies on agar plates.
