DNA as a phosphate storage polymer and the alternative advantages of polyploidy for growth or survival.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Haloferax volcanii uses extracellular DNA as a source for carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous. However, it can also grow to a limited extend in the absence of added phosphorous, indicating that it contains an intracellular phosphate storage molecule.

Developing High‐Efficiency Electroporation Protocols for Hard‐To‐Transform Halomonas spp.

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.
Genetic manipulation of Halomonas species has been limited by poor transformation efficiencies. Here, we establish a highly efficient electroporation protocol for Halomonas elongata DSM 2581. This method also proved transferable to other Halomonas strains, encouraging further genetic manipulation work in underexplored species.

Dinucleoside Polyphosphates in Cellular Signaling: Function and Evolution Across Life

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 10, October 2025.
Although discovered more than 50 years ago, the cellular functions of Ap4A and related dinucleotides remain largely enigmatic. To address this knowledge gap, we organized a conference showcasing recent research that highlights the critical role of Ap4A as a global regulator across all domains of life.

d-Xylose Degradation Pathway in the Halophilic Archaeon Haloferax volcanii [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009
The pathway of D-xylose degradation in archaea is unknown. In a previous study we identified in Haloarcula marismortui the first enzyme of xylose degradation, an inducible xylose dehydrogenase (Johnsen, U., and Schönheit, P. (2004) J. Bacteriol. 186, 6198–6207).

Strategies for the Reconstitution and Purification of Haloarchael Protein RadA

Pakistan Journal of Analytical & Environmental Chemistry, 2019
DNA repair proteins in halophilic organisms are interesting to study in the context of understanding the dynamics of protein-DNA interaction and their adaptation to perform biochemical activities at high osmolarity. Successful expression and purification

Comprehensive glycoproteomics shines new light on the complexity and extent of glycosylation in archaea.

PLoS Biology, 2021
Glycosylation is one of the most complex posttranslational protein modifications. Its importance has been established not only for eukaryotes but also for a variety of prokaryotic cellular processes, such as biofilm formation, motility, and mating ...

Toxicity Assessment and Bioremediation of Deep Eutectic Solvents by Haloferax mediterranei: A Step toward Sustainable Circular Chemistry

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 16, August 6, 2025.
The toxicity and biodegradability of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) can be evaluated using Haloferax mediterranei as a novel model organism. The haloarchaeon metabolizes specific DES components, highlighting its potential for DES bioremediation. These findings support the use of H.

Chromatin is an ancient innovation conserved between Archaea and Eukarya

eLife, 2012
The eukaryotic nucleosome is the fundamental unit of chromatin, comprising a protein octamer that wraps ∼147 bp of DNA and has essential roles in DNA compaction, replication and gene expression. Nucleosomes and chromatin have historically been considered
