Beyond Archaea: The Table Salt Bacteriome
Frontiers 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.

Fructose metabolism in Chromohalobacter salexigens: interplay between the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas and Entner–Doudoroff pathways [PDF]
, 2019 Background The halophilic bacterium Chromohalobacter salexigens metabolizes glucose exclusively through the Entner–Doudoroff (ED) pathway, an adaptation which results in inefficient growth, with significant carbon overflow, especially at low salinity ...

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 ...

Diversity of culturable moderately halophilic and halotolerant bacteria in a marsh and two salterns a protected ecosystem of Lower Loukkos (Morocco) [PDF]
, 2012 To study the biodiversity of halophilic bacteria in a protected wetland located in Loukkos (Northwest, Morocco), a total of 124 strains were recovered from sediment samples from a marsh and salterns.

Isocitrate lyase activity in halophilic archaea [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1995 Eight species of halophilic Archaea were tested for the presence of isocitrate lyase activity. High activities (up to 100 nmol min−1 mg protein−1) were detected in Haloferax mediterranei and Haloferax volcanii when grown in medium containing acetate as the principal carbon source. Little activity was found in representatives of the genera Halobacterium

Characterization of eukaryotic microbial diversity in hypersaline Lake Tyrrell, Australia. [PDF]
, 2013 This study describes the community structure of the microbial eukaryotic community from hypersaline Lake Tyrrell, Australia, using near full length 18S rRNA sequences. Water samples were taken in both summer and winter over a 4-year period. The extent of

Early evolution of purple retinal pigments on Earth and implications for exoplanet biosignatures
, 2018 We propose that retinal-based phototrophy arose early in the evolution of life on Earth, profoundly impacting the development of photosynthesis and creating implications for the search for life beyond our planet.

Regulation of translation in haloarchaea: 5'- and 3'-UTRs are essential and have to functionally interact in vivo [PDF]
, 2009 Recently a first genome-wide analysis of translational regulation using prokaryotic species had been performed which revealed that regulation of translational efficiency plays an important role in haloarchaea.

PLASMIDS OF ARCHAEA AS POSSIBLE ANCESTORS OF DNA-CONTAINING VIRUSES
Вопросы 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 ...
