Characterizing the growth of PHA-producing microorganisms on short-chain carboxylic acids
Microbial Cell FactoriesShort-chain carboxylic acids are important chemical intermediates in anaerobic treatment or thermal hydrolysis of biowaste. They are a crucial precursor for the production of Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) by various microorganisms. However, there is limited

Purification and biological characterization of halocin H1 from Haloferax mediterranei M2a
International 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 ...

Carotenoids from Haloarchaea and Their Potential in Biotechnology
Marine Drugs, 2015 The production of pigments by halophilic archaea has been analysed during the last half a century. The main reasons that sustains this research are: (i) many haloarchaeal species possess high carotenoids production availability; (ii) downstream processes

Journal of Bacteriology, 1990 DNA restriction pattern modifications were detected when Haloferax mediterranei was grown in low (10%) salt concentrations. After cells were grown again in optimal (25%) salt concentrations, the original pattern was recovered. These salt-associated DNA modifications were revealed with 5% of the 160 DNA fragments cloned and used as probes in ...

CRISPR-based gene knockout in the model haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei
FEMS Microbiology LettersAbstract Halophilic archaea, a specialized group of extremophiles that inhabit hypersaline environments, exhibit distinctive physiological and metabolic features. Traditional genetic manipulation of these organisms, predominantly reliant on homologous recombination techniques, suffers from limitations such as complex procedures and ...
