Organic Solvent Tolerance of Halophilic Archaea [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2003 Organic solvent tolerance was tested in type strains of type species of the sixteen genera of Halobacteriaceae, the halophilic archaea. Most of the strains were observed to grow in the presence of hexylether (log Pow=5.1), but none grew in the presence of n-octane (log Pow=4.9) except Halogeometricum borinquense JCM 10706T and Halorubrum saccharovorum ...

Understanding the tolerance of halophilic archaea to stress landscapes. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepAbstract Haloarchaea, known for their resilience to environmental fluctuations, require a minimum salt concentration of 10% (w/v) for growth and can survive up to 35% (w/v) salinity. In biotechnology, these halophiles have diverse industrial applications.

Pyruvate: A key Nutrient in Hypersaline Environments?
Microorganisms, 2015 Some of the most commonly occurring but difficult to isolate halophilic prokaryotes, Archaea as well as Bacteria, require or prefer pyruvate as carbon and energy source.

USE OF MOLECULAR APPROACHES TO STUDY THE OCCURRENCE OF EXTREMOPHILES AND EXTREMODURES IN NON-EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS [PDF]
, 2011 A number of samples were collected from various extreme and non-extreme environments. A range of molecular approaches, in addition to classical microbiology techniques, were used to isolate microorganisms, mainly archaea and bacteria from unusual ...

Molecular mechanisms of adaptation of the moderately halophilic bacterium Halobacillis halophilus to its environment [PDF]
, 2013 The capability of osmoadaptation is a prerequisite of organisms that live in an environment with changing salinities. Halobacillus halophilus is a moderately halophilic bacterium that grows between 0.4 and 3 M NaCl by accumulating both chloride and ...

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.

Nitrogen regulation of protein–protein interactions and transcript levels of GlnK PII regulator and AmtB ammonium transporter homologs in Archaea [PDF]
, 2013 Gene homologs of GlnK PII regulators and AmtB-type ammonium transporters are often paired on prokaryotic genomes, suggesting these proteins share an ancient functional relationship.

Quantification of ploidy in proteobacteria revealed the existence of monoploid, (mero-)oligoploid and polyploid species [PDF]
, 2011 Bacteria are generally assumed to be monoploid (haploid). This assumption is mainly based on generalization of the results obtained with the most intensely studied model bacterium, Escherichia coli (a gamma-proteobacterium), which is monoploid during ...

HaloDom: a new database of halophiles across all life domains
Journal of Biological Research - Thessaloniki, 2018 Background Halophilic organisms may thrive in or tolerate high salt concentrations. They have been studied for decades and a considerable number of papers reporting new halophilic species are being published every year.
