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 ...

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.

Diversity and Potential Multifunctionality of Archaeal CetZ Tubulin-like Cytoskeletal Proteins
Biomolecules, 2023 Tubulin superfamily (TSF) proteins are widespread, and are known for their multifaceted roles as cytoskeletal proteins underpinning many basic cellular functions, including morphogenesis, division, and motility.

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.

The ecology and taxonomy of halobacteria [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1986 Abstract Archaebacterial halophiles dominate naturally occurring brines as the concentration of salts approaches saturation. Although only 4 genera of these bacteria have been recognised (Halobacterium, Halococcus, Natronobacterium, Natronococcus), chemotaxonomic studies indicate that there are 4 or 5 additional distinct groups.
