The ecology of the extremely halophilic archaea [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1994 The extremely halophilic archaea (family Halobacteriaceae) are the dominant heterotrophic organisms in hypersaline environments in which salt concentrations exceed 250–300 g l−1. During the last decades our knowledge on the taxonomy, physiology and biochemistry of the Halobacterium group has greatly increased.

In vitro Analysis of Ubiquitin-like Protein Modification in Archaea
Bio-Protocol, 2018 The ubiquitin-like (Ubl) protein is widely distributed in Archaea and involved in many cellular pathways. A well-established method to reconstitute archaeal Ubl protein conjugation in vitro is important to better understand the process of archaeal Ubl ...

Osmoadaptation mechanisms in prokaryotes: distribution of compatible solutes [PDF]
, 2008 Microorganisms respond to osmotic stress mostly by accumulating compatible solutes, either by uptake from the medium or by de novo synthesis. These osmotically activ molecules preserve the positive turgor pressure required for cell division.

The Bulk and The Tail of Minimal Absent Words in Genome Sequences
, 2015 Minimal absent words (MAW) of a genomic sequence are subsequences that are absent themselves but the subwords of which are all present in the sequence. The characteristic distribution of genomic MAWs as a function of their length has been observed to be ...

Potential for industrial products from the halophilic Archaea
Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2011 The halophilic Archaea are a group of microorganisms that have not been extensively considered for biotechnological applications. This review describes some of the enzymes and products and the potential applications of this unique group of microorganisms to various industrial processes.

Protein acetylation in archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes [PDF]
, 2010 Proteins can be acetylated at the alpha-amino group of the N-terminal amino acid (methionine or the penultimate amino acid after methionine removal) or at the epsilon-amino group of internal lysines.
