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.

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.

Metabolism and Physiology of Halobacteria [PDF]
, 2015 Halophiles (lat. “salt-loving”) is the taxonomic group of extreme aerobic microorganisms that live in conditions of high salinity – in the seas, salt lakes, saline soils etc.

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.

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
