Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 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]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1993 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.

A Study of the Cell Envelope of the Halobacteria [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1969 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.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 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

Halobacteria as producers of polyhydroxyalkanoates [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992 Haloferax mediterranei, an extremely halophilic archaeobacterium, is an efficient producer of poly-s-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA) that are accumulated with high yield from starch as sole carbon and energy source, the advantages of using this microorganism as PHA producer are discussed.

Distribution of Denitrification among Haloarchaea: A Comprehensive Study
Microorganisms, 2021 Microorganisms from the Halobacteria class, also known as haloarchaea, inhabit a wide range of ecosystems of which the main characteristic is the presence of high salt concentration.

Dihydroxyacetone metabolism in Haloferax volcanii
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a ketose sugar that can be produced by oxidizing glycerol. DHA in the environment is taken up and phosphorylated to DHA-phosphate by glycerol kinase or DHA kinase.
