New insights into microbial adaptation to extreme saline environments
BIO Web of Conferences, 2014 Extreme halophiles are microorganisms adapted to low water activity living at the upper salt concentration that life can tolerate. We review here recent data that specify the main factors, which determine their peculiar salt-dependent biochemistry.

Halophilic Nuclease from a Moderately Halophilic Micrococcus varians [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1974 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.

Differential interactions of halophilic and non-halophilic proteases with nanoparticles [PDF]
Sustainable Chemical Processes, 2014 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 ...

Halophilic Amylase from a Moderately Halophilic Micrococcus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1972 A moderately halophilic Micrococcus sp., isolated from unrefined solar salt, produced a considerable amount of extracellular dextrinogenic amylase when cultivated aerobically in media containing 1 to 3 m NaCl. The Micrococcus amylase had maximal activity at
