Study on the production of high 3HV content PHBV via an open fermentation with waste silkworm excrement as the carbon source by the haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Silkworm excrement is hard to be degraded or bio-utilized by environmental microorganisms due to its high content of heavy metals and antimicrobial biomacromolecules in mulberry leaves. In traditional Chinese silk industry, the silkworm excrement results

Potassium binding by carbonyl clusters, halophilic adaptation and catalysis of Haloferax mediterranei D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase [PDF]

Communications Biology
Enzymes from salt-in halophiles are stable in conditions of low water activity with applications in chiral synthesis requiring organic solvents, yet the origins of such stability remains poorly understood.

Towards the Elucidation of Assimilative nasABC Operon Transcriptional Regulation in Haloferax mediterranei. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2021
The assimilatory pathway of the nitrogen cycle in the haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei has been well described and characterized in previous studies. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in the gene expression of this pathway remain unknown in haloarchaea.

Small RNAs of Haloferax mediterranei: Identification and Potential Involvement in Nitrogen Metabolism. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2018
Small RNAs have been studied in detail in domains Bacteria and Eukarya but, in the case of the domain Archaea, the knowledge is scarce and the physiological function of these small RNAs (sRNAs) is still uncertain. To extend the knowledge of sRNAs in the domain Archaea and their possible role in the regulation of the nitrogen assimilation metabolism in ...
