Rock surfaces as reservoirs for airborne halophilic microorganisms in the Bochnia Salt Mine [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Airborne halophilic archaea have recently been detected in subterranean salt mines, yet their origin in such dynamic environments remains unclear.

Biodegradation of Organic Pollutants by Halophilic Bacteria and Archaea [PDF]

Microbial Physiology, 2008
Hypersaline environments are important for both surface extension and ecological significance. As all other ecosystems, they are impacted by pollution. However, little information is available on the biodegradation of organic pollutants by halophilic microorganisms in such environments.

Characterization and Functional Evaluation of Carotenoids From Haloarcula rubripromontorii BS2

MicrobiologyOpen
Haloarcula rubripromontorii BS2, an extremely halophilic archaeon was obtained from the solar salt pans of Goa, India. It grew luxuriantly on EHM medium with 25% NaCl with a bright orange pigmentation.

Cultivation of halophilic archaea (class Halobacteria) from thalassohaline and athalassohaline environments. [PDF]

Mar Life Sci Technol, 2021
As a group, the halophilic archaea (class Halobacteria) are the most salt-requiring and salt-resistant microorganisms within the domain Archaea. Halophilic archaea flourish in thalassohaline and athalassohaline environments and require over 100-150 g/L ...

Halophilic archaea as tools for bioremediation technologies. [PDF]

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol
Abstract Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to be alive, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundantly and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Metabolism of halophilic archaea [PDF]

Extremophiles, 2008
In spite of their common hypersaline environment, halophilic archaea are surprisingly different in their nutritional demands and metabolic pathways. The metabolic diversity of halophilic archaea was investigated at the genomic level through systematic metabolic reconstruction and comparative analysis of four completely sequenced species: Halobacterium ...

The immune system of halophilic archaea [PDF]

Mobile Genetic Elements, 2012
Prokaryotes have developed several strategies to defend themselves against foreign genetic elements. One of those defense mechanisms is the recently identified CRISPR/Cas system, which is used by approximately half of all bacterial and almost all archaeal organisms. The CRISPR/Cas system differs from the other defense strategies because it is adaptive,

Biotechnological potentials of halophilic microorganisms and their impact on mankind

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2022
Background Halophiles are extremophilic organisms represented by archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes that thrive in hypersaline environment. They apply different osmoadaptation strategies to survive in hostile conditions.

Net Charges of the Ribosomal Proteins of the S10 and spc Clusters of Halophiles Are Inversely Related to the Degree of Halotolerance

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Net positive charge(s) on ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) have been reported to influence the assembly and folding of ribosomes. A high percentage of r-proteins from extremely halophilic archaea are known to be acidic or even negatively charged.
