MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF MODERATELY HALOPHILIC BACTERIA AND EXTREMELY HALOPHILIC ARCHAEA ISOLATED FROM SALTED SHEEP SKINS CONTAINING RED AND YELLOW DISCOLORATIONS [PDF]
, 2015 Salted hides or skins containing red and yellow discolorations have been examined for many years, but much less information is available about the isolation and molecular techniques for identifying moderately halophilic bacteria and extremely halophilic ...

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).

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.

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

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

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.Lithium for rechargeable batteries is increasingly extracted from brines in high‐Andean salars. Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies are promoted as sustainable alternatives to conventional evaporation ponds. This work explores how brine modification and reinjection may affect microbial communities and ecosystem functioning, highlighting the ...

Cell Surface Glycosylation Is Required for Efficient Mating of Haloferax volcanii
Frontiers 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 ...

Brine Pool Microbes Enrich Metalliferous Sediments in Salt Giant Basins
AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 6, September 2026.Abstract We report the discovery of an extinct deep‐sea brine pool in the Red Sea's Hume Deep, providing evidence that rift‐shoulder pools are ephemeral on millennial timescales, and that the microbially‐enriched metalliferous deposits produced during the pool's active phase persist into the stratigraphic record.

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 ...

Atmospheric Microbial Transport to Antarctica and Its Ecological Implications: A Systematic Review
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.Atmospheric transport to Antarctica operates via long‐range advection, marine aerosolization, and local resuspension, acting as a strict ecological filter. This selective barrier could actively shape local ecosystems by seeding them with functionally distinct, stress‐adapted microbial pioneers capable of surviving extreme conditions.
