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.

The Function of Gas Vesicles in Halophilic Archaea and Bacteria: Theories and Experimental Evidence
Life, 2012 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

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.

Protein acetylation in archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes
, 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.

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.

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 ...

Diurnally entrained anticipatory behavior in archaea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 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).

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.
