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 ...

Phylogenomics of Haloarchaea: The Controversy of the Genera Natrinema-Haloterrigena
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The haloarchaeal genera Natrinema and Haloterrigena were described almost simultaneously by two different research groups and some strains studied separately were described as different species of these genera.

Variable rRNA gene copies in extreme halobacteria [PDF]
, 2020 Using PFG electrophoresis techniques, we have examined the organization of rRNA gene in halobacterium species. The results show that the organization of rRNA genes among closely related halobacteria is quite heterogeneous.
