Molecular ecology of extremely halophilic Archaea and Bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2002
Abstract Water bodies with NaCl concentrations approaching saturation are often populated by dense microbial communities. Red halophilic Archaea of the family Halobacteriaceae dominate in such environments. The application of molecular biological techniques, in particular the use of approaches based on the characterization of ribosomal RNA sequences ...

Isocitrate lyase activity in halophilic archaea [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS 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

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 ...

Can Organic Amendments Override Environmental Filtering of Soil Microbiomes? Evidence From 20 Years Old Agricultural Field Trials in Contrasting Tropical Sites

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Across four long‐term Kenyan maize trials, site was the dominant driver of microbial community composition and N‐cycling gene abundance. Among organic amendments, farmyard manure most strongly enriched copiotrophic taxa and raised prokaryotic diversity.

Desiccation tolerance mechanisms in the green lineage and beyond

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3159-3175, September 2026.
Ancient origin and recurrent evolution of desiccation tolerance in the green lineage. Summary Water is essential for life on Earth, yet some plants can survive the near‐complete loss of cellular water, a trait known as desiccation tolerance. Although rare in vegetative tissues of vascular plants, desiccation tolerance is scattered across the plant ...

Regulation of translation in haloarchaea: 5'- and 3'-UTRs are essential and have to functionally interact in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Recently a first genome-wide analysis of translational regulation using prokaryotic species had been performed which revealed that regulation of translational efficiency plays an important role in haloarchaea.

Genetic manipulation of Methanosarcina spp.

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2012
The discovery of the third domain of life, the Archaea, is one of the most exciting findings of the last century. These remarkable prokaryotes are well known for their adaptations to extreme environments; however, Archaea have also conquered moderate ...

Soil Microbiomes Across Depth and Ecosystems in Dubai, UAE: Potential Environmental Signatures for Forensic Geolocation

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Soil microbiomes from diverse Dubai environments were profiled using a high‐throughput sequencing approach. Distinct microbial signatures were identified across sites, enabling comparative taxonomic and diversity analyses. These microbial fingerprints demonstrate potential for forensic geolocation, supporting the use of soil microbiome profiling as a ...

A Genetic Investigation of the KEOPS Complex in Halophilic Archaea

open access: yesPLoS 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.
