Genomic analysis of heavy metal-resistant Halobacterium salinarum isolated from Sfax solar saltern sediments. [PDF]
The draft genome sequences of five archaeal strains, isolated from Sfax solar saltern sediments and affiliated with Halobacterium salinarum, were analyzed in order to reveal their adaptive strategies to live in hypersaline environments polluted with ...

Interaction of the gas vesicle proteins GvpA, GvpC, GvpN, and GvpO of Halobacterium salinarum. [PDF]
The interactions of the four gas vesicle proteins GvpA, C, N, and O were investigated by split-GFP and pulldown assays. GvpA forms the ribs of the gas vesicle shell, whereas GvpC is attached to the exterior surface and stabilizes the gas vesicle ...

Low Salt Influences Archaellum-Based Motility, Glycerol Metabolism, and Gas Vesicles Biogenesis in Halobacterium salinarum. [PDF]
Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1 is an extremophile that grows optimally at 4.3 M NaCl concentration. In spite of being an established model microorganism for the archaea domain, direct comparisons between its proteome and transcriptome during osmotic ...

Perturbed N-glycosylation of Halobacterium salinarum archaellum filaments leads to filament bundling and compromised cell motility. [PDF]
The swimming device of archaea—the archaellum—presents asparagine (N)-linked glycans. While N-glycosylation serves numerous roles in archaea, including enabling their survival in extreme environments, how this post-translational modification contributes ...

The salty tango of brine composition and UV photochemistry effects on Halobacterium salinarum cell envelope biosignature preservation. [PDF]
Hypersaline environments, including brines and brine inclusions of evaporite crystals, are currently of great interest due to their unique preservation properties for the search for terrestrial and potentially extraterrestrial biosignatures of ancient ...

Reversible Photochromic Reactions of Bacteriorhodopsin from Halobacterium salinarum at Femto- and Picosecond Times. [PDF]
The operation of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) from the archaeon Halobacterium salinarum is based on the photochromic reaction of isomerization of the chromophore group (the retinal protonated Schiff base, RPSB) from the all-trans to the 13-cis form.

Revisiting N-glycosylation in Halobacterium salinarum: Characterizing a dolichol phosphate- and glycoprotein-bound tetrasaccharide. [PDF]
Although Halobacterium salinarum provided the first example of N-glycosylation outside the Eukarya, much regarding such post-translational modification in this halophilic Archaea remains either unclear or unknown.

Cloning, Expression, Characterization and Immobilization of a Recombinant Carboxylesterase from the Halophilic Archaeon, <i>Halobacterium salinarum</i> NCR-1. [PDF]
Only a few halophilic archaea producing carboxylesterases have been reported. The limited research on biocatalytic characteristics of archaeal esterases is primarily due to their very low production in native organisms.
