Surviving salt fluctuations: stress and recovery in Halobacterium salinarum, an extreme halophilic Archaeon

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Halophilic proteins subjected to below about 15% salt in vitro denature through misfolding, aggregation and/or precipitation. Halobacteria, however, have been detected in environments of fluctuating salinity such as coastal salterns and even around fresh

Anaerobic growth of halobacteria.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1980
An energy-transducing pathway in halobacteria is described. Arginine mediates substrate level phosphorylation and allows the cells to grow anaerobically. Bacteriorhodopsin plus light can function as an alternative energy source under these conditions, provided the cells contain the pigment when transferred to the anaerobic environment.

Seasonal Fluctuations of the Seagrass Holobiont under Contrasting Environmental Conditions

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
(A) The inharmonious state of the Coorong and the different sample types collect with throughout this study. (B, C) Biofilm, including the presence of diatoms and bacteria, attached on the leaves of Ruppia. ABSTRACT Microbial communities are widely recognised as indicative of ecosystem health.

Lipid composition of integral purple membrane by 1H and 31P NMR

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
In the purple membrane (PM) of halobacteria, lipids stabilize the trimeric arrangement of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) molecules and mediate the packing of the trimers in a regular crystalline arrangement.

Airborne Halophilic and Non‐Halophilic Microbial Communities in an Underground Salt Mine Affected by Seasonal Environmental Fluctuations

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study tests seasonal controls on airborne microbes in the UNESCO‐listed Bochnia Salt Mine. In summer, relative humidity exceeded the halite deliquescence threshold, coinciding with higher NaCl aerosol and greater densities of halophilic microbes; in winter, humidity stayed below deliquescence and halophilic microbes declined at least 13‐fold while

Exploring tRNA gene cluster in archaea

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2019
BACKGROUND Shared traits between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are helpful in the understanding of the tree of life evolution. In bacteria and eukaryotes, it has been shown a particular organisation of tRNA genes as clusters, but this trait has not been ...

Martian Water: Are There Extant Halobacteria on Mars? [PDF]

open access: yesAstrobiology, 2001
On Earth, life exists in all niches where water exists in liquid form for at least a portion of the year. On Mars, any liquid water would have to be a highly concentrated brine solution. It is likely, therefore, that any present-day Martian microorganisms would be similar to terrestrial halophiles. Even if present-day life does not exist on Mars, it is

A Manual Curation Strategy to Improve Genome Annotation: Application to a Set of Haloarchael Genomes

open access: yesLife, 2015
Genome annotation errors are a persistent problem that impede research in the biosciences. A manual curation effort is described that attempts to produce high-quality genome annotations for a set of haloarchaeal genomes (Halobacterium salinarum and Hbt ...

Halobacteria carotenoid extraction

open access: yes, 2020
I've been reading into bacteriochlorophyll a utilizing alphaproteobacteria recently, prompted by the question of selecting among wildtype microbes and studying their evolution long-term. Chances are, whatever the sample I'll be able to screen from the East River would be carotenoid producing aerobic photoheterotroph, likely from the upper sediment ...
