Early evolution of purple retinal pigments on Earth and implications for exoplanet biosignatures

, 2018
We propose that retinal-based phototrophy arose early in the evolution of life on Earth, profoundly impacting the development of photosynthesis and creating implications for the search for life beyond our planet.

Cloning, characterization and analysis of cat and ben genes from the phenol degrading halophilic bacterium Halomonas organivorans. [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Extensive use of phenolic compounds in industry has resulted in the generation of saline wastewaters that produce significant environmental contamination; however, little information is available on the degradation of phenolic compounds in ...

Detecting Convergence of Amino Acid Physicochemical Properties Underlying the Organismal Adaptive Convergent Evolution

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Many studies have proposed various comparative genomic methods to probe the molecular basis for adaptive functional convergence between species, conventionally by detecting the convergence of amino acid states between orthologous protein sequences of these species or lineages.

Eco‐Friendly Innovation: Biodegradable and Oil‐Resistant Bags From Lotus halophilus Extract, Polyvinyl Alcohol, and Guar Gum for Sustainable Food Packaging

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
Biodegradable PVA–guar gum films with Lotus halophilus extract show enhanced antioxidant, antibacterial, and barrier properties for food packaging. ABSTRACT Clear or improperly designed packaging can allow nonconvenient conditions to degrade the oil, leading to rancidity and loss of flavor.

Phenotypic Characterization of Pectinase‐Producing Alkaliphilic Microbial Isolates From Lake Bogoria, Baringo County, Kenya

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2025.
Four alkaliphilic microbial isolates were screened, and all were found to produce alkaline pectinases. All the pectinase‐producers were identified as Bacillus halodurans. ABSTRACT Alkaline pectinases are in demand in industrial processes that require the degradation of plant pectins at high pH, for example, removal of pectin stains from fabrics ...
