Abstract Biodegradable polymers have been getting more and more attention because of their contribution to the plastic pollution environmental issues and to move towards a circular economy. Nevertheless, biodegradable materials still exhibit various disadvantages restraining a widespread use in the market.

The Function of Gas Vesicles in Halophilic Archaea and Bacteria: Theories and Experimental Evidence
A few extremely halophilic Archaea (Halobacterium salinarum, Haloquadratum walsbyi, Haloferax mediterranei, Halorubrum vacuolatum, Halogeometricum borinquense, Haloplanus spp.) possess gas vesicles that bestow buoyancy on the cells. Gas vesicles are also

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

Structural adaptation of extreme halophilic proteins through decrease of conserved hydrophobic contact surface [PDF]
Background: Halophiles are extremophilic microorganisms growing optimally at high salt concentrations. There are two strategies used by halophiles to maintain proper osmotic pressure in their cytoplasm: accumulation of molar concentrations of potassium ...

FISH, a new tool for in situ preservation of RNA in tissues of deep‐sea mobile fauna
ABSTRACT Accessing the metabolic functioning of deep‐sea animals in situ remains a technological challenge as the recovery time of samples is incompatible with the short lifespan of such molecules as mRNAs. Tools able to preserve RNA in situ exist, but they are incompatible with the study of mobile fauna.
