Preparation and characterization of poly(hydroxyalkanoate) from the fermentation of Haloferax mediterranei

Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 2006
In this study, fed-batch fermentation of Haloferax mediterranei using glucose and yeast extract as carbon and nitrogen source, respectively, was carried out to produce poly(hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA). After fermentation for 117 h, the concentration of H. mediterranei and PHA content reached 85.8 g/l and 48.6%, respectively.

Characterization of genes for chitin catabolism in Haloferax mediterranei

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2013
Chitin is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide after cellulose. But degradation of chitin has never been reported in haloarchaea. In this study, we revealed that Haloferax mediterranei, a metabolically versatile haloarchaeon, could utilize colloidal or powdered chitin for growth and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV ...

α-Amylase activity from the halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei

Extremophiles, 2003
The halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei is able to grow in a minimal medium containing ammonium acetate as a carbon and nitrogen source. When this medium is enriched with starch, alpha-amylase activity is excreted to the medium in low concentration. Here we report methods to concentrate and purify the enzyme.

Biopolymer Production by Haloferax Mediterranei

1991
The halobacterium H. mediterranei is an organism of biotechnological potential due to its capacity as polymer producer. This microorganism accumulates poly-s-hydroxybutyrate as intracellular granules in very large amounts. PHB is an interesting biopolymer for its possible use as biodegradable thermoplastic.

Transcriptional profiles of Haloferax mediterranei based on nitrogen availability

Journal of Biotechnology, 2015
The haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei is able to grow in the presence of different inorganic and organic nitrogen sources by means of the assimilatory pathway under aerobic conditions. In order to identify genes of potential importance in nitrogen metabolism and its regulation in the halophilic microorganism, we have analysed its global gene ...

Purification and biological characterization of halocin H1 from Haloferax mediterranei M2a

open access: yesInternational Microbiology, 2002
The production of halocins, bacteriocin-like proteins of ecological significance, is a frequent characteristic of species from the family Halobacteriaceae. Halocin H1, produced by Haloferax mediterranei strain M2a, is a single 31-kDa polypeptide. Its purification was achieved by combining two chromatographic systems: Sepharose 4B linked to bacitracin ...

Ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase: involvement in ammonium assimilation in Haloferax mediterranei

Extremophiles, 2013
Glutamate synthase (GOGAT) is one of the two important enzymes involved in the ammonium assimilation pathway glutamine synthetase (GS)/GOGAT, which enables Hfx. mediterranei to thrive in media with low ammonium concentration or containing just nitrate as single nitrogen source.

Impact of haloazolisin production in the antiarchaeal activity of Haloferax mediterranei

2021
Halobacteria, também conhecidas por haloarchaea, é uma classe de Archaea halófilas que habitam ambientes. À semelhança de todos os extremófilos, as haloarchaea desenvolveram mecanismos que lhes permitem sobreviver em condições de elevada salinidade, falta de nutrientes e exposição excessiva aos raios UV.

Macroalgal biomass subcritical hydrolysates for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) by Haloferax mediterranei

Bioresource Technology, 2019
Non-conventional carbon sources, such as macroalgae, are sustainable alternatives for large-scale production of biopolymers. The present study examined macroalgae-derived carbohydrates, as carbon sources for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by Haloferax mediterranei.
