HPClas: A data‐driven approach for identifying halophilic proteins based on catBoost
mLife, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 515-526, December 2024.Abstract Halophilic proteins possess unique structural properties and show high stability under extreme conditions. This distinct characteristic makes them invaluable for application in various aspects such as bioenergy, pharmaceuticals, environmental clean‐up, and energy production.

Understanding the tolerance of halophilic archaea to stress landscapes
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2024.The tolerance responses of nine Haloarchaea species were analysed under 70 different conditions, including various salinities, temperatures, oxidative stress and the presence of metals. In general, all characterised species tolerated heavy metals, with a particularly striking tolerance to lithium. These results highlight the relevance of Haloarchaea in

The Function of Gas Vesicles in Halophilic Archaea and Bacteria: Theories and Experimental Evidence
Life, 2012 A few extremely halophilic Archaea (Halobacterium salinarum, Haloquadratum walsbyi, Haloferax mediterranei, Halorubrum vacuolatum, Halogeometricum borinquense, Haloplanus spp.) possess gas vesicles that bestow buoyancy on the cells. Gas vesicles are also

Structural adaptation of extreme halophilic proteins through decrease of conserved hydrophobic contact surface [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Halophiles are extremophilic microorganisms growing optimally at high salt concentrations. There are two strategies used by halophiles to maintain proper osmotic pressure in their cytoplasm: accumulation of molar concentrations of potassium ...
