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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Identification of non-coding RNA in Haloferax mediterranei].

Wei sheng wu xue bao = Acta microbiologica Sinica, 2018
To identify non-coding RNAs in Haloferax mediterranei through high-throughput RNA sequencing, bioinformatics analysis and molecular techniques.After H. mediterranei cells under log phase of growth were treated with different salt concentrations for 30 minutes, total RNA was extracted for the following strand-specific RNA sequencing and differential RNA
