Identifying Components of a Halobacterium salinarum N-Glycosylation Pathway
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Whereas N-glycosylation is a seemingly universal process in Archaea, pathways of N-glycosylation have only been experimentally verified in a mere handful of species.

Structure of the cell envelope of Halobacterium halobium. [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 1976 The structure of the isolated cell envelope of Halobacterium halobium is studied by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and biochemical analysis. The envelope consists of the cell membrane and two layers of protein outside. The outer layer of protein shows a regular arrangement of the protein or glycoprotein particles and is therefore identified as
