A Manual Curation Strategy to Improve Genome Annotation: Application to a Set of Haloarchael Genomes
Life, 2015 Genome annotation errors are a persistent problem that impede research in the biosciences. A manual curation effort is described that attempts to produce high-quality genome annotations for a set of haloarchaeal genomes (Halobacterium salinarum and Hbt ...

Characterizing the growth of PHA-producing microorganisms on short-chain carboxylic acids
Microbial Cell FactoriesShort-chain carboxylic acids are important chemical intermediates in anaerobic treatment or thermal hydrolysis of biowaste. They are a crucial precursor for the production of Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) by various microorganisms. However, there is limited

Enhanced 4-hydroxybutyrate incorporation into the PHA terpolymer of Haloferax mediterranei by heterologous expression of 4-hydroxybutyrate-CoA transferases/synthetases [PDF]
The polyhydroxyalkanoate terpolymer, P[(3HB)-co-(3HV)-co-(4HB)], is a promising plastic alternative for specialized applications, notably in medical and pharmaceutical sectors. Haloferax mediterranei (Hfx), an extreme halophile archaeon, is a P[(3HB)-co-(

Carotenoids from Haloarchaea and Their Potential in Biotechnology
Marine Drugs, 2015 The production of pigments by halophilic archaea has been analysed during the last half a century. The main reasons that sustains this research are: (i) many haloarchaeal species possess high carotenoids production availability; (ii) downstream processes
