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.

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.

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

A survey of the biosynthetic potential and specialized metabolites of archaea and understudied bacteria

Current Research in Biotechnology, 2023
Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) are genes in proximity that are involved in the production of specialized metabolites (SMs) and provide additional in situ advantages to the producing microbes such as antagonism and quorum sensing.

Evidence from phylogenetic and genome fingerprinting analyses suggests rapidly changing variation in Halorubrum and Haloarcula populations

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Halobacteria require high NaCl concentrations for growth and are the dominant inhabitants of hypersaline environments above 15% NaCl. They are well documented to be highly recombinogenic, both in frequency and in the range of exchange partners.

The PL6-Family Plasmids of Haloquadratum Are Virus-Related

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Plasmids PL6A and PL6B are both carried by the C23T strain of the square archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi, and are closely related (76% nucleotide identity), circular, about 6 kb in size, and display the same gene synteny. They are unrelated to other known

Identification of acetylated diether lipids in halophilic Archaea

MicrobiologyOpen, 2022
As a hallmark of Archaea, their cell membranes are comprised of ether lipids. However, Archaea‐type ether lipids have recently been identified in Bacteria as well, with a somewhat different composition: In Bacillales, sn‐glycerol 1‐phosphate is ...

First Report of Drought-Tolerant Halobacteria Associated with Agave potatorum Zucc

Agronomy
The rhizosphere microbiota of arid plants plays a crucial role in adaptation to environmental stress. However, few studies have characterized microorganisms associated with Agave species and their contribution to resilience against salinity and drought ...

ADP-Dependent Kinases From the Archaeal Order Methanosarcinales Adapt to Salt by a Non-canonical Evolutionarily Conserved Strategy

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Halophilic organisms inhabit hypersaline environments where the extreme ionic conditions and osmotic pressure have driven the evolution of molecular adaptation mechanisms. Understanding such mechanisms is limited by the common difficulties encountered in
