Effect of different levels of Scutellaria baicalensis straw on slaughter performance and rumen microorganisms of rams. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
The shortage of forage supply has become an issue for the development of high-quality animal husbandry. Utilizing functional diets can mitigate forage shortages while enhancing animal performance and product quality.

Novel insights into the diversity of halophilic microorganisms and their functioning in hypersaline ecosystems [PDF]

npj Biodiversity
Our 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 Sci
Abstract 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 ...

Discovery of the Streamlined Haloarchaeon Halorutilus salinus, Comprising a New Order Widespread in Hypersaline Environments across the World

mSystems, 2023
The class Halobacteria is one of the most diverse groups within the Euryarchaeota phylum, whose members are ubiquitously distributed in hypersaline environments, where they often constitute the major population.

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.

Archaeal Genes Code for GGDEF Domain Proteins With Diguanylate Cyclase Activity. [PDF]

Mol Microbiol
A biofilm‐like mode of growth is hypothesized to be required for the emergence of cellular life. Occurrence of common biofilm gene products in current Bacteria and Archaea is an indication for their previous presence in the last universal common ancestor LUCA and perhaps even in the first universal common ancestor FUCA.

Composition Analysis of Polar Lipids in Halobacteria with Mass Spectrometry [PDF]

, 2004
The structures of the polar lipids in halobacteria including their mutants were determined with ESI-MS and FAB-MS. The composition-analyses with ESI-MS gave the results fairly close to these with TLC analyses.

Colorectal Cancer Archaeome: A Metagenomic Exploration, Tunisia

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.
