Analysis of Haloferax mediterranei Lrp Transcriptional Regulator. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2021 Haloferax mediterranei is an extremely halophilic archaeon, able to live in hypersaline environments with versatile nutritional requirements, whose study represents an excellent basis in the field of biotechnology. The transcriptional machinery in Archaea combines the eukaryotic basal apparatus and the bacterial regulation mechanisms.

Deepening the knowledge of universal stress proteins in Haloferax mediterranei. [PDF]
Appl Microbiol BiotechnolAbstract Haloarchaea, like many other microorganisms, have developed defense mechanisms such as universal stress proteins (USPs) to cope with environmental stresses affecting microbial growth. Despite the wide distribution of these proteins in Archaea, their biochemical characteristics still need to be discovered, and there ...

Genomic stability in the archaeae Haloferax volcanii and Haloferax mediterranei [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1995 Through hybridization of available probes, we have added nine genes to the macrorestriction map of the Haloferax mediterranei chromosome and five genes to the contig map of Haloferax volcanii. Additionally, we hybridized 17 of the mapped cosmid clones from H. volcanii to the H. mediterranei genome. The resulting 35-point chromosomal comparison revealed

Carotenoids as a Protection Mechanism against Oxidative Stress in Haloferax mediterranei. [PDF]
Antioxidants (Basel), 2020 Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms that in their natural ecosystem encounter several sources of oxidative stress. They have developed different strategies to cope with these harsh environmental conditions, among which bacterioruberin production is a very notable strategy.

Production of an Extracellular Polysaccharide by Haloferax mediterranei [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1988 The extremely halophilic archaebacterium Haloferax mediterranei produces an exocellular polymeric substance that gives the colonies a typical mucous character and is responsible for the appearance of a superficial layer in unshaken liquid medium.

Characterisation of chlorate reduction in the haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2015 Haloferax mediterranei is a denitrifying haloarchaeon using nitrate as a respiratory electron acceptor under anaerobic conditions in a reaction catalysed by pNarGH. Other ions such as bromate, perchlorate and chlorate can also be reduced.Hfx. mediterranei cells were grown anaerobically with nitrate as electron acceptor and chlorate reductase activity ...

Analysis of Lsm Protein-Mediated Regulation in the Haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciThe Sm protein superfamily includes Sm, like-Sm (Lsm), and Hfq found in the Eukarya, Archaea, and Bacteria domains. Archaeal Lsm proteins have been shown to bind sRNAs and are probably involved in various cellular processes, suggesting a similar function in regulating sRNAs by Hfq in bacteria.
