Haloferax volcanii is a well-established model species for haloarchaea. Small scale RNomics and bioinformatics predictions were used to identify small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs), and deletion mutants revealed that sRNAs have important regulatory functions ...

Investigation of the global translational response to oxidative stress in the model archaeon Haloferax volcanii reveals untranslated small RNAs with ribosome occupancy [PDF]
Oxidative stress induces a wide range of cellular damage, often causing disease and cell death. While many organisms are susceptible to the effects of oxidative stress, haloarchaea have adapted to be highly resistant.

Iron starvation results in up-regulation of a probable Haloferax volcanii siderophore transporter [PDF]
The response of the haloarchaeal model organism Haloferax volcanii to iron starvation was analyzed at the proteome level by data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry. Cells grown in minimal medium with normal iron levels were compared to those grown

Improved growth and morphological plasticity of Haloferax volcanii. [PDF]
AbstractSome microbes display pleomorphism, showing variable cell shapes in a single culture, whereas others differentiate to adapt to changed environmental conditions. The pleomorphic archaeonHaloferax volcaniicommonly forms discoid-shaped (‘plate’) cells in culture, but may also be present as rods, and can develop into motile rods in soft agar, or ...

Quantitative Mass Spectrometry by SILAC in Haloferax volcanii. [PDF]
The development of mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics methods has been critical in providing new insight about cellular processes and adaptations in all domains of life. While traditional MS-based methods are not inherently quantitative, technologies are now available to overcome this limitation.
