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.

Genomic-based phylogenetic and metabolic analyses of the genus Natronomonas, and description of Natronomonas aquatica sp. nov.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The genus Natronomonas is classified on the family Haloarculaceae, within the class Halobacteria and currently includes six species isolated from salterns, saline or soda lakes, and salt mines. All are extremely halophilic (optimal growth at 20–25% [w/v]

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.

Systems analysis of bioenergetics and growth of the extreme halophile Halobacterium salinarum [PDF]

, 2009
Halobacterium salinarum is a bioenergetically flexible, halophilic microorganism that can generate energy by respiration, photosynthesis, and the fermentation of arginine.

Hypersaline environments as natural sources of microbes with potential applications in biotechnology: The case of solar evaporation systems to produce salt in Alicante County (Spain).

Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2022
Extremophilic microbes show a unique metabolism due to the adaptations they display to deal with extreme environmental parameters characterizing the extreme ecosystems that they inhabit (high salt concentration, high temperatures, and extreme pH values ...

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.

Metagenomic insights into the uncultured diversity and physiology of microbes in four hypersaline soda lake brines

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Soda lakes are salt lakes with a naturally alkaline pH due to evaporative concentration of sodium carbonates in the absence of major divalent cations.

Climate Change Modulates Halophyte Secondary Metabolites to Reshape Rhizosphere Halobacteria for Biosaline Agriculture

Applied Sciences, 2023
To feed the ever-increasing population under changing climate scenarios, it is imperative to investigate the role of halophytes, which are equipped with special adaptation mechanisms to cope under extreme conditions of salinity. In the current review, we

Population and genomic analysis of the genus Halorubrum

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.
