Beyond Archaea: The Table Salt Bacteriome
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]
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.

PLASMIDS OF ARCHAEA AS POSSIBLE ANCESTORS OF DNA-CONTAINING VIRUSES
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]
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
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]
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]
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
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]
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).
