Identification of acetylated diether lipids in halophilic Archaea [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2022 As a hallmark of Archaea, their cell membranes are comprised of ether lipids. However, Archaea‐type ether lipids have recently been identified in Bacteria as well, with a somewhat different composition: In Bacillales, sn‐glycerol 1‐phosphate is ...

Cellular differentiation into hyphae and spores in halophilic archaea [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Several groups of bacteria have complex life cycles involving cellular differentiation and multicellular structures. For example, actinobacteria of the genus Streptomyces form multicellular vegetative hyphae, aerial hyphae, and spores.

Halophilic Archaea Halorhabdus Rudnickae and Natrinema Salaciae Activate Human Dendritic Cells and Orient T Helper Cell Responses [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Halophilic archaea are procaryotic organisms distinct from bacteria, known to thrive in hypersaline environments, including salt lakes, salterns, brines and salty food. They have also been identified in the human microbiome.

Uptake of environmental halophilic archaea by human dendritic cells [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHalophilic archaea are a group distinct from Bacteria and Eukarya, which belong to extremophiles living in highly saline environments. However, they can also exist in the human microbiome. Their impact on the human immune system is poorly known.

Bipyrimidine Signatures as a Photoprotective Genome Strategy in G + C-rich Halophilic Archaea
Life, 2016 Halophilic archaea experience high levels of ultraviolet (UV) light in their environments and demonstrate resistance to UV irradiation. DNA repair systems and carotenoids provide UV protection but do not account for the high resistance observed.
