Archaeal Tetraether Lipids as Tracers for Past Marine Environmental Change
Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Archaea are single‐celled microorganisms that are abundant in marine environments and play a key role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Archaea can biosynthesize a wide variety of isoprenoid membrane lipids, including isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs).

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Halophilic archaea are known to produce a diverse array of pigments for phototrophy and photoprotection. The aim of this paper was to determine the role of a Halobacterium gene encoding the predicted cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP174A1) in pigment ...

Scotty: lattice coincidences in the Protein Data Bank
Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 824-835, July 2026.Scotty supports crystallographic comparisons of lattice coincidences, the interpretation of oligomeric assemblies and paracrystallinity.The application Scotty, implemented within the Phasertng codebase, was used to perform a PDB‐wide analysis of lattice coincidences.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.A novel polyP‐degrading enzyme with an activity differing from those currently known was found in Haloferax volcanii, conferring the ability for this microbe to grow on extracellular polyP. These findings further our understanding of the potential ecological roles of polyP and how archaea metabolise this essential biopolymer.

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.

A Genetic Investigation of the KEOPS Complex in Halophilic Archaea
PLoS ONE, 2012 KEOPS is an important cellular complex conserved in Eukarya, with some subunits conserved in Archaea and Bacteria. This complex was recently found to play an essential role in formation of the tRNA modification threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t(6)A), and was previously associated with telomere length maintenance and transcription.

Proceedings, 2020 : The present work was carried out on 133 halophilic strains isolated on MGM (Modified Growth Medium) medium with 12 and 23% (w/v) of salt. A screening of the extracellular proteolytic activities, carried out on the same medium supplemented with casein ...

Beyond PEGylation: Archaeal Lipids for Long‐Circulating Liposomes
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2026.Archaeal lipid‐based liposomes, particularly those containing caldarchaeol (GDGT), were found to significantly prolong the circulation time of vancomycin in rats, matching the pharmacokinetic properties of PEGylated systems. These findings suggest archaeal lipids as promising non‐PEG excipients for parenteral applications to minimize drug clearance ...

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

ChemPhotoChem, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.The 13C hyperfine structure of the 5‐deazaflavin radical is elucidated by photo‐chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization spectroscopy and compared to the flavin radical. Despite structural similarity to flavins, 5‐deazaflavins were long thought to act only as two‐electron transfer agents.
