SICLE: A high-throughput tool for extracting evolutionary relationships from phylogenetic trees
We present the phylogeny analysis software SICLE (Sister Clade Extractor), an easy-to-use, high- throughput tool to describe the nearest neighbors to a node of interest in a phylogenetic tree as well as the support value for the relationship.

The crystal structure of Haloferax volcanii proliferating cell nuclear antigen reveals unique surface charge characteristics due to halophilic adaptation [PDF]
Background: The high intracellular salt concentration re quired to maintain a halophilic lifestyle poses challenges to haloarchaeal proteins that must stay soluble, stable and functional in this extreme environment.

An identity card for sabkha dolomite
An ‘identity card’ for modern sabkha dolomite from Qatar reveals its mineralogical, geochemical and microbial characteristics. This integrated dataset provides a benchmark for recognising similar dolomites in the rock record and for calibrating paleoenvironmental proxies used in climate and biosignature studies.

Physio-chemical and biological properties of partially purified exopolymers from newly isolated halophilic bacterial strain SM5 [PDF]
An extremely halophilic bacterial strain SM5 producing exopolymers was isolated from Thai traditional fermented fish (Pla-ra). Morphological and biochemical properties and 16S rDNA sequencing revealed that the strain was Halobacterium sp. SM5.

Synthesis of sulfate esters of phosphatidylglycerol (diphytanyl ether analog)
Synthesis of 1-sn-phosphatidyl-3′-sn-glycero-1′-sulfate (phosphatidylglycero-1-sulfate) was achieved by monosulfation of 1-sn-phosphatidyl-3′-sn-glycerol (diphytanyl ether analog) with an equimolar amount of SO3–pyridine complex at room temperature; with

Characterization and Functional Evaluation of Carotenoids From Haloarcula rubripromontorii BS2
Fractionation and comprehensive characterization of C50 carotenoids from Haloarcula rubripromontorii BS2, identified all‐trans bacterioruberin as the predominant isomer. The haloarchaeal carotenoid exhibited strong antioxidant activity, photostability in oil and was biocompatible with human keratinocytes, highlighting their potential as sustainable ...

In Silico Prophage Analysis of Halobacterium salinarum ATCC 33170
The extremophile Halobacterium salinarum is an aerobic archaeon that has adapted to thrive in high-salt environments such as salted fish, hypersaline lakes, and salterns. Halophiles have garnered significant interest due to their unique interactions with

Diversity of FAAL enzymes and prediction of their substrate specificity using FAALPred
Abstract FAALs (fatty acyl‐AMP ligases) recruit and incorporate fatty acids during the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Their diversity, distribution, and substrate specificity remain poorly understood, which limits functional predictions from sequence data.
