Beyond Archaea: The Table Salt Bacteriome

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Commercial table salt is a condiment with food preservative properties by decreasing water activity and increasing osmotic pressure. Salt is also a source of halophilic bacteria and archaea.

Systems Biology of Halophilic Archaea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Systems biology is spread over all branches of life science and attracts biologists, mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, and engineers equally. Full of promises and visions it often signalizes that the in silico eucaryotic cell is close to realization and experimental work will be needed in the future only for confirmation.

Probing Saltern Brines with an Oxygen Electrode: What Can We Learn about the Community Metabolism in Hypersaline Systems?

open access: yesLife, 2016
We have explored the use of optical oxygen electrodes to study oxygenic photosynthesis and heterotrophic activities in crystallizer brines of the salterns in Eilat, Israel.

PLASMIDS OF ARCHAEA AS POSSIBLE ANCESTORS OF DNA-CONTAINING VIRUSES

open access: yesВопросы вирусологии, 2018
Тhе kingdom Archaea, as well as Bacteria, belongs to the overkingdom Prokaryota. Halophilic archaea (Halorubrum lacusprofundi) isolated from Antarctic saline lakes contain plasmids (pR1SE) that code proteins taking part in the formation of membranes of ...

On the origin of prokaryotic "species": the taxonomy of halophilic Archaea [PDF]

open access: yesSaline Systems, 2008
The consistent use of the taxonomic system of binomial nomenclature (genus and species) was first popularized by Linnaeus nearly three-hundred years ago to classify mainly plants and animals. His main goal was to give labels that would ensure that biologists could agree on which organism was under investigation.

Phenol biodegradation by halophilic archaea

open access: yesInternational Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2016
Abstract Phenol is a toxic aromatic compound produced as a by-product of industrial activities. Biological treatment of highly saline wastewaters containing phenol can be performed through halophilic microorganisms. In this study, the ability of halophilic archaeal isolates to degrade phenol was investigated.

Heterogeneity of small plasmids from halophilic archaea [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1993
Small multicopy plasmids in three strains of halophilic archaea, SB3, GRB, and GN101, were found to be present in a cell as a population of related but not identical sequences. Two types of heterogeneity were observed: macroheterogeneity, represented by two major plasmid sequence versions homologous to each other by 80%, and microheterogeneity, in ...

The ecology of the extremely halophilic archaea [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS 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.

The Function of Gas Vesicles in Halophilic Archaea and Bacteria: Theories and Experimental Evidence

open access: yesLife, 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

Diurnally entrained anticipatory behavior in archaea. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
By sensing changes in one or few environmental factors biological systems can anticipate future changes in multiple factors over a wide range of time scales (daily to seasonal).
