Oxidative stress adaptation strategies are important to cell function and are linked to cardiac, neurodegenerative disease, and cancer. Representatives of the Archaea domain are used as model organisms based on their extreme tolerance to oxidants and ...

Understanding High-Salt and Cold Adaptation of a Polyextremophilic Enzyme
The haloarchaeon Halorubrum lacusprofundi is among the few polyextremophilic organisms capable of surviving in one of the most extreme aquatic environments on Earth, the Deep Lake of Antarctica (−18 °C to +11.5 °C and 21–28%, w/v salt content). Hence, H.

Misprediction of Structural Disorder in Halophiles
Whereas the concept of intrinsic disorder derives from biophysical observations of the lack of structure of proteins or protein regions under native conditions, many of our respective concepts rest on proteome-scale bioinformatics predictions.

Concrete hosts a small but diverse microbiome that changes over time. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing would enable assessment of both the diversity and function of the microbial community in concrete, but a number of unique challenges make this difficult ...

Marine Myxobacteria: A Few Good Halophiles
Currently considered an excellent candidate source of novel chemical diversity, the existence of marine myxobacteria was in question less than 20 years ago.

Halophilic Nuclease from a Moderately Halophilic Micrococcus varians [PDF]
The moderately halophilic bacterium Micrococcus varians , isolated from soy sauce mash, produced extracellular nuclease when cultivated aerobically in media containing 1 to 4 M NaCl or KCl. The enzyme, purified to an electrophoretically homogeneous state, had both ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease activities.

Culturable Diversity and Enzyme Production Survey of Halophilic Prokaryotes from a Solar Saltern on the Shore of the Oman Sea [PDF]
The prokaryotic residents of the Tis solar saltern in the southeast of Iran on the shore of Oman Sea were investigated by the culture-dependent methods. Sequencing of the PCR-amplified fragments of 16S rRNA genes revealed that bacterial populations were ...

Differential interactions of halophilic and non-halophilic proteases with nanoparticles [PDF]
Increase in the industrial use of nanomaterials and nanoparticles (NPs) make their release into the environment inevitable. This may lead to environmental contamination and exposure of the biological/ microbial diversity. Nanoparticles have been reported to impregnate the cells and interact with cellular biomolecules especially proteins and DNA ...
