Dihydroxyacetone metabolism in Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a ketose sugar that can be produced by oxidizing glycerol. DHA in the environment is taken up and phosphorylated to DHA-phosphate by glycerol kinase or DHA kinase.

N-glycosylation in Haloferax volcanii: Adjusting the sweetness [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Long believed to be restricted to Eukarya, it is now known that cells of all three domains of life perform N-glycosylation, the covalent attachment of glycans to select target protein asparagine residues.

Cellular and Genomic Properties of Haloferax gibbonsii LR2-5, the Host of Euryarchaeal Virus HFTV1 [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Hypersaline environments are the source of many viruses infecting different species of halophilic euryarchaea. Information on infection mechanisms of archaeal viruses is scarce, due to the lack of genetically accessible virus–host models. Recently, a new
