The ecology and taxonomy of halobacteria [PDF]
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.

Diversity and Potential Multifunctionality of Archaeal CetZ Tubulin-like Cytoskeletal Proteins
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.

Image_1_The archaeal class Halobacteria and astrobiology: Knowledge gaps and research opportunities.jpeg [PDF]
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 ...

The genome of Halobacterium strain 63‐R2 was recently reported and provides the opportunity to resolve long‐standing issues regarding the source of two widely used model strains of Halobacterium salinarum, NRC‐1 and R1.

Pan-genome analysis and ancestral state reconstruction of class halobacteria : probability of a new super-order [PDF]
Halobacteria, a class of Euryarchaeota are extremely halophilic archaea that can adapt to a wide range of salt concentration generally from 10% NaCl to saturated salt concentration of 32% NaCl.

Halophilic enzymes need high salt concentrations for activity and stability and are considered a promising source for biotechnological applications. The model study for haloadaptation has been proteins from the Halobacteria class of Archaea, where common

Stringency and relaxation among the halobacteria [PDF]
Accumulation of stable RNA and production of guanosine polyphosphates (ppGpp and pppGpp) were studied during amino acid starvation in four species of halobacteria. In two of the four species, stable RNA was under stringent control, whereas one of the remaining two species was relaxed and the other gave an intermediate phenotype.

Restriction-modification (RM) systems have evolved to protect the cell from invading DNAs and are composed of two enzymes: a DNA methyltransferase and a restriction endonuclease. Although RM systems are present in both archaeal and bacterial genomes, DNA

A Study of the Cell Envelope of the Halobacteria [PDF]
SUMMARY: Electron microscopy on thin sections of three different extremely halophilic Halobacterium species showed that their cell envelopes were of similar general construction: an inner membrane and an outer layer. The outer layer stains most strongly in the outermost part.

Cultivation of halophilic archaea (class Halobacteria) from thalassohaline and athalassohaline environments [PDF]
As a group, the halophilic archaea (class Halobacteria) are the most salt-requiring and salt-resistant microorganisms within the domain Archaea. Halophilic archaea flourish in thalassohaline and athalassohaline environments and require over 100-150 g/L ...
