The Archaeal Proteome Project advances knowledge about archaeal cell biology through comprehensive proteomics

Nature Communications, 2020
While archaeal proteomics advanced rapidly, a comprehensive proteome database for archaea is lacking. Therefore, the authors here launch the Archaeal Proteome Project, a community-effort providing insights into archaeal cell biology via the combined ...

BINge: Multispecies Ortholog Clustering for Differential Gene Expression Analyses

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Differential gene expression (DGE) analysis enables researchers to investigate the link between gene expression and the phenotypic responses observed in organisms across time, experimental, or field conditions. Accurate quantification of gene expression is essential when performing DGE experiments, with a range of methods having been developed

Enzymatic and microbial routes to bioplastics: The green chemistry frontier of biopolymers

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 709-726, April 2026.
Microbial biosynthesis and engineered enzyme platforms are expanding the design space of polyhydroxyalkanoate bioplastics. By combining fermentation, PHA synthase engineering and cell‐free modular systems, tailored biodegradable polymers can be produced with tunable properties, supporting more sustainable materials and future circular bioeconomy ...

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 913-926, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Translational coupling via termination-reinitiation in archaea and bacteria

Nature Communications, 2019
Archaea and bacteria often have gene pairs with overlapping stop and start codons, suggesting translational coupling. Here, Huber et al. analyse overlapping gene pairs from 720 genomes, and validate translational coupling via termination-reinitiation for

Characterization and Functional Evaluation of Carotenoids From Haloarcula rubripromontorii BS2

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
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 ...

Structure Modeling Protocols for Protein Multimer and RNA in CASP16 With Enhanced MSAs, Model Ranking, and Deep Learning

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 1, Page 167-182, January 2026.
ABSTRACT We present the methods and results of our protein complex and RNA structure predictions at CASP16. Our approach integrated multiple state‐of‐the‐art deep learning models with a consensus‐based scoring method. To enhance the depth of multiple sequence alignments (MSAs), we employed a large metagenomic sequence database.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...
