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

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

The archaeal protein SepF is essential for cell division in Haloferax volcanii

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
In most bacteria, cell division depends on tubulin homolog FtsZ and other proteins, such as SepF. Cell division in many archaea also depends on FtsZ. Here, Nußbaum et al.

Effect of Metal Cations on Selenite Bioreduction by a Consortium of Halophilic/Halotolerant Bacteria and/or Yeast

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Evaluation the effects of potentially toxic co‐contaminating metal cations, including cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and Zinc (Zn), on the bioreduction of selenite by a consortium of halotolerant and halophilic bacteria and/or yeast. ABSTRACT Selenium oxyanion pollution in the environment, often originating from anthropogenic industrial activities, causes ...

Halophilic Archaea: Life with Desiccation, Radiation and Oligotrophy over Geological Times [PDF]

open access: yesLife, 2015
Halophilic archaebacteria (Haloarchaea) can survive extreme desiccation, starvation and radiation, sometimes apparently for millions of years. Several of the strategies that are involved appear specific for Haloarchaea (for example, the formation of halomucin, survival in fluid inclusions of halite), and some are known from other prokaryotes (dwarfing ...

Quantification of ploidy in proteobacteria revealed the existence of monoploid, (mero-)oligoploid and polyploid species

open access: yes, 2011
Bacteria are generally assumed to be monoploid (haploid). This assumption is mainly based on generalization of the results obtained with the most intensely studied model bacterium, Escherichia coli (a gamma-proteobacterium), which is monoploid during ...

Cell Surface Glycosylation Is Required for Efficient Mating of Haloferax volcanii

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Halophilic archaea use a fusion-based mating system for lateral gene transfer across cells, yet the molecular mechanisms involved remain unknown. Previous work implied that cell fusion involves cell–cell recognition since fusion occurs more efficiently ...

Hidden Fungal Diversity of the Precious Mediterranean Red Coral Corallium rubrum

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study reveals diverse cultivable fungi associated with the red coral Corallium rubrum, highlighting both potentially beneficial and pathogenic species. These findings emphasize the biotechnological relevance and ecological impact of coral‐associated fungi, especially as climate change may increase disease risks.

Complex Effects of Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenase on Purple Membrane and Bacterioruberin Production in an Extremely Halophilic Archaeon: Genetic, Phenotypic, and Transcriptomic Analyses

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Genomic Survey of Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenases Reveals Their Widespread Distribution in Marine Habitats

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Protein sequence surveys show that nickel‐ and molybdenum/copper‐containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODHs) are widespread in the ocean. Phylogenetic and genome context analyses reveal that marine CODHs are highly diverse in both evolutionary history and functional organisation.

Test for the Production and Assay of the Proteolytic Activities of Halophilic Bacteria and Archaea Isolated from Algerian Hypersaline Environments

open access: yesProceedings, 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 ...
