Haloadaptation: Insights from comparative modeling studies of halophilic archaeal DHFRs
Proteins of halophilic archaea function in high-salt concentrations that inactivate or precipitate homologous proteins from non-halophilic species. Haloadaptation and the mechanism behind the phenomenon are not yet fully understood.

HaloDom: a new database of halophiles across all life domains
Background Halophilic organisms may thrive in or tolerate high salt concentrations. They have been studied for decades and a considerable number of papers reporting new halophilic species are being published every year.

Diversity and industrial potential of hydrolaseproducing halophilic/halotolerant eubacteria [PDF]
Halophilic and haloterant eubacteria have been isolated from different marine and hypersaline environments. Halophilic eubacteria also occur in environments typified by more than one soda lakes which are both hypersaline and extremely alkaline.

Pharmaceutical applications of halophilic enzymes
Halophiles produce extraordinarily stable enzymes under conditions where conventional enzymes cease to function, denature, and precipitate. Halophilic enzymes have adapted to function optimally at high salt concentrations besides tolerance of organic ...

Structural adaptation of enzymes from halophilic organisms
Proteins from halophilic organisms, especially those who adopt ‘salt in’ survival strategy, i.e. accumulation of inorganic ions up to 5 M in the cytoplasm, maintain their soluble and active conformations, in an environment generally detrimental to ...

ECOLOGY OF HALOPHILIC BACTERIA DISTRIBUTED IN THE HYPERSALINE ENVIRONMENTS OF UZBEKISTAN AND THEIR POTENTIAL OF FORMING EXOPOLYSACARIDES [PDF]
Halophilic and halotolerant bacteria were isolated from hypersaline waters, soils and salt deposits in Karakalpakstan (Nukus, Kungrad), Kashkadarya (Dekhkanabad), Fergana (Yazyavan), Namangan (Chust, Mingbulak) regions.
