A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin
ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Precise Capture of Membrane Proteins Using DNA‐Origami‐Constrained Nanodiscs
A designed DNA origami structure ensures manipulates and inserts an individual membrane protein in a single, captured nanodisc. Membrane proteins play a key role as cellular gatekeepers, regulating the flow of information and material across lipid membranes.

Genomic and Ecological Flexibility Shape the Global Distribution of a Black Fungus
Graphical abstract illustrating the integration of ecological and genomic data to explain the global adaptation of the black fungus Elasticomyces elasticus. ABSTRACT Black fungi are among the most stress‐resistant organisms known, yet the genetic and ecological foundations of their extraordinary resilience remain poorly understood.

The archaeal class Halobacteria and astrobiology: Knowledge gaps and research opportunities [PDF]
Water bodies on Mars and the icy moons of the outer solar system are now recognized as likely being associated with high levels of salt. Therefore, the study of high salinity environments and their inhabitants has become increasingly relevant for ...

The Patchy Distribution of Restriction–Modification System Genes and the Conservation of Orphan Methyltransferases in Halobacteria [PDF]
Restriction–modification (RM) systems in bacteria are implicated in multiple biological roles ranging from defense against parasitic genetic elements, to selfish addiction cassettes, and barriers to gene transfer and lineage homogenization.

This work reviewed the direct and indirect effects of fires on microbial communities and the resilience strategies microbes use to withstand high temperatures . ABSTRACT Fire, whether occurring on the surface or underground, significantly influences soil microbial dynamics by reshaping community composition, functional diversity and overall soil and ...

Inference of expanded Lrp-like feast/famine transcription factor targets in a non-model organism using protein structure-based prediction. [PDF]
Widespread microbial genome sequencing presents an opportunity to understand the gene regulatory networks of non-model organisms. This requires knowledge of the binding sites for transcription factors whose DNA-binding properties are unknown or difficult
