Computational Genome and Pathway Analysis of Halophilic Archaea [PDF]
, 2005 Halophilic archaea inhabit hypersaline environments and share common physiological features such as acidic protein machineries in order to adapt to high internal salt concentrations as well as electron transport chains for oxidative respiration. Surprisingly, nutritional demands were found to differ considerably amongst haloarchaeal species, though ...

The astrobiological potential of halophilic archaea [PDF]
, 2016 The universe we know is a hostile place and currently we only know one planet that harbors life: Earth. Most of the extant life on Earth thrives in moderate environmental conditions, however, over the last decades extreme environments have been shown to harbor a great diversity of life.

The Function of Gas Vesicles in Halophilic Archaea and Bacteria: Theories and Experimental Evidence
Life, 2012 A few extremely halophilic Archaea (Halobacterium salinarum, Haloquadratum walsbyi, Haloferax mediterranei, Halorubrum vacuolatum, Halogeometricum borinquense, Haloplanus spp.) possess gas vesicles that bestow buoyancy on the cells. Gas vesicles are also

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 BiotechnolAbstract 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.

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.
