Archaeal diversity in the Dead Sea: Microbial survival under increasingly harsh conditions [PDF]

, 2009
The Dead Sea is rapidly drying out. The lake is supersaturated with NaCl, and precipitated of halite from the water column has led to a decrease in sodium content, while concentrations of magnesium and calcium greatly increased, making the lake an ever ...

Halopenitus persicus gen. nov., sp. nov., an archaeon from an inland salt lake

, 2012
A novel pale pink-pigmented halophilic archaeon, strain DC30T, was isolated from Aran-Bidgol salt lake, a hypersaline playa in Iran. Cells of strain DC30T were non-motile and pleomorphic, from rods to triangular or disc-shaped.

Halopiger aswanensis sp. nov., a polymer-producing and extremely halophilic archaeon isolated from hypersaline soil

, 2010
Strain 56T was isolated from a hypersaline soil in Aswan (Egypt). Cells were pleomorphic rods. The organism was neutrophilic, motile and required at least 1.7 M (10 % w/v) NaCl, but not MgCl2, for growth; optimal growth occurred at ≥3.8 M (≥22.5 %) NaCl.

Salarchaeum japonicum gen. nov., sp. nov., an aerobic, extremely halophilic member of the Archaea isolated from commercial salt

, 2011
Strain YSM-79T was isolated from commercial salt made from seawater in Yonaguni island, Okinawa, Japan. The strain is an aerobic, Gram-negative, chemo-organotrophic and extremely halophilic archaeon.

Wide Distribution among Halophilic Archaea of a Novel Polyhydroxyalkanoate Synthase Subtype with Homology to Bacterial Type III Synthases

, 2010
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are accumulated as intracellular carbon and energy storage polymers by various bacteria and a few haloarchaea. In this study, 28 strains belonging to 15 genera in the family Halobacteriaceae were ...

Standards in Genomic Sciences (2010) 2:107-116 DOI:10.4056/sigs.68923 Complete genome sequence of Haloterrigena turkmenica type strain (4k T)

, 2014
is the type species of the genus Haloterrigena in the euryarchaeal family Halobacteriaceae. It is of phylogenetic interest because of the yet unclear position of the genera Haloterrigena and Natrinema within the Halobacteriaceae, which created some ...

Halovenus aranensis gen. nov., sp. nov., an extremely halophilic archaeon from Aran-Bidgol salt lake

, 2012
A novel red-pigmented halophilic archaeon, strain EB27T, was isolated from Aran-Bidgol salt lake, a hypersaline playa in Iran. Cells of strain EB27T were non-motile and pleomorphic (rods to triangular or disc-shaped). Strain EB27T required at least 2.5 M

Anaerobic Metabolism in Haloferax Genus: Denitrification as Case of Study [PDF]

, 2016
A number of species of Haloferax genus (halophilic archaea) are able to grow microaerobically or even anaerobically using different alternative electron acceptors such as fumarate, nitrate, chlorate, dimethyl sulphoxide, sulphide and/or trimethylamine ...
