Notes: Transfer of Halobacterium denitrificans (Tomlinson, Jahnke, and Hochstein) to the Genus Haloferax as Haloferax denitrificans comb. nov. [PDF]
Halobacterium denitrificans (Tomlinson, Jahnke, and Hochstein) was described at a time when the taxonomic subdivision of the family Halobacteriaceae was in a state of flux. On the basis of both biochemical and chemotaxonomic data, this organism exhibits features which indicate that it is more closely related to members of the genus Haloferax.

Haloferax massiliensis sp. nov., the first human-associated halophilic archaea
We report the main characteristics of Haloferax massiliensis strain Arc-HrT (= CSUR P974) isolated from stool specimen of a 22-year-old Amazonian obese female patient.

Haloferax mediterranei (R4) belongs to the group of halophilic archaea, one of the predominant microbial populations in hypersaline environments. In these ecosystems, the low availability of oxygen pushes the microbial inhabitants toward anaerobic ...

Both, Haloferax mediterranei and Haloferax volcanii membranes contain ATPases which are capable of hydrolyzing ATP in presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+. The ATPases require high concentrations of NaCl, a pH value of 9, and high temperatures up to 60 °C. Free manganese ions inhibited the enzyme activity of either ATPase. The ATPases of Hf.

Haloferax volcanii—a model archaeon for studying DNA replication and repair [PDF]
The tree of life shows the relationship between all organisms based on their common ancestry. Until 1977, it comprised two major branches: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Work by Carl Woese and other microbiologists led to the recategorization of prokaryotes

tRNA-like elements in Haloferax volcanii
All functional RNAs are generated from precursor molecules by a plethora of processing steps. The generation of mature RNA molecules by processing is an important layer of gene expression regulation catalysed by ribonucleases. Here, we analysed 5S rRNA processing in the halophilic Archaeon Haloferax volcanii. Earlier experiments showed that the 5S rRNA

Mechanosensitive Ion Channels of the Archaeon Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
Mechanosensitive (MS) ion channels have been documented in a variety of cells belonging to Eukarya and Eubacteria. We report the novel finding of two types of MS ion channels in the cell membrane of the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii, a member of the Archaea that comprise the third phylogenetic domain.
