An identity card for sabkha dolomite

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
An ‘identity card’ for modern sabkha dolomite from Qatar reveals its mineralogical, geochemical and microbial characteristics. This integrated dataset provides a benchmark for recognising similar dolomites in the rock record and for calibrating paleoenvironmental proxies used in climate and biosignature studies.

DNA as genetic material and as a nutrient in halophilic Archaea [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Phosphorus is a key element for life, and in many ecosystems phosphate is the limiting nutrient. This is also true for many hypersaline ecosystems. A well-known example is the Dead Sea, where the possibility of massive development of microbial blooms is determined by the excessively high concentrations of magnesium and calcium and phosphate is the ...

Studies on the Biodiversity of Halophilic Microorganisms Isolated from El-Djerid Salt Lake (Tunisia) under Aerobic Conditions

International Journal of Microbiology, 2009
Bacterial and archaeal aerobic communities were recovered from sediments from the shallow El-Djerid salt lake in Tunisia, and their salinity gradient distribution was established. Six samples for physicochemical and microbiological analyses were obtained

Carboxydotrophic Acetogenesis in Alkaline Conditions Results in Transient Formate Production by the Halo‐Alkaliphilic Acetogen Haloacetibacter carboxydivorans Gen. Nov. sp. Nov

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This work presents the physiological exploration of the halo‐alkaliphilic, carboxydotrophic acetogen bacterium MD4. In contrast to well‐characterised neutrophilic and slightly acidophilic acetogenic carboxydotrophs, this work shows an important role for formate production, instead of ethanol, as a redox exhaust mechanism in alkaline conditions ...

Molecular Identification of Moderately Halophilic Bacteria and Extremely Halophilic Archaea Isolated from Salted Sheep Skins Containing Red and Yellow Discolorations

, 2015
Salted hides or skins containing red and yellow discolorations have been examined for many years, but much less information is available about the isolation and molecular techniques for identifying moderately halophilic bacteria and extremely halophilic ...

Regulation of translation in haloarchaea: 5'- and 3'-UTRs are essential and have to functionally interact in vivo

, 2009
Recently a first genome-wide analysis of translational regulation using prokaryotic species had been performed which revealed that regulation of translational efficiency plays an important role in haloarchaea.

Cloning and Molecular Characterization of an Alpha-Glucosidase (MalH) from the Halophilic Archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi

Life, 2017
We report the heterologous expression and molecular characterization of the first extremely halophilic alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) from the archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi. A 2349 bp region (Hqrw_2071) from the Hqr.
