Phenol biodegradation by halophilic archaea

International 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.

A comprehensive analysis of the importance of translation initiation factors for Haloferax volcanii applying deletion and conditional depletion mutants [PDF]

, 2013
Translation is an important step in gene expression. The initiation of translation is phylogenetically diverse, since currently five different initiation mechanisms are known.

Dilemma in Carotenoids Versus Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) Synthesis Using Haloarchaea as Cell Factories

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Production of PHAs by haloarchaea: the production of carotenoids and PHAs is concomitant, and consequently, various metabolic pathways compete for the carbon source. This results in a loss of PHA production efficiency. Efficient control of carbon source utilization (favoring certain metabolic pathways at the expense of others) is the key to the ...

Occurrence of the methylglyoxal bypass in halophilic Archaea [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1995
Eight species of halophilic Archaea were tested for the presence of the enzymes of the methylglyoxal bypass. Methylglyoxal synthase was found in extracts of all species tested, with the exception of Halobacterium salinarium and Halobacterium cutirubrum. The enzyme of Haloferax volcanii was most active at pH 7 in the absence of salt, and in the presence

Microbial diversity and ecological roles of halophilic microorganisms in Dingbian (Shaanxi, China) saline-alkali soils and salt lakes

BMC Microbiology
Halophilic microorganisms abound in numerous hypersaline environments, such as salt lakes, salt mines, solar salterns, and salted seafood. In the northwest of Dingbian county (Shaanxi province, China), there exists a belt of hypersaline habitats ...

Analysis of Carbohydrates and Glycoconjugates by Matrix‐Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry: An Update for 2023–2024

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of MALDI mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this comprehensive review is the twelfth update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2024.

S‐Adenosylmethionine (SAM) hydrolases counter increased SAM epimerisation in thermophilic archaea

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
S‐Adenosyl‐l‐methionine (SAM) is a vital enzyme cofactor. Epimerisation at the sulfonium centre of biologically active (SS,SCα)‐SAM is driven by heat, yielding biologically inactive (RS,SCα)‐SAM. Here, two novel archaeal SAM hydrolases from the thermophilic Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and the halophilic Haloferax volcanii are shown to cleave (RS,SCα)‐SAM.

The ecology of the extremely halophilic archaea [PDF]

FEMS 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.

Bioprospecting for Novel Halophilic and Halotolerant Sources of Hydrolytic Enzymes in Brackish, Saline and Hypersaline Lakes of Romania

Microorganisms, 2020
Halophilic and halotolerant microorganisms represent promising sources of salt-tolerant enzymes that could be used in various biotechnological processes where high salt concentrations would otherwise inhibit enzymatic transformations.

Archaeal Genes Code for GGDEF Domain Proteins With Diguanylate Cyclase Activity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
A biofilm‐like mode of growth is hypothesized to be required for the emergence of cellular life. Occurrence of common biofilm gene products in current Bacteria and Archaea is an indication for their previous presence in the last universal common ancestor LUCA and perhaps even in the first universal common ancestor FUCA.
