Carotenoids’ Production from Halophilic Bacteria

, 2012
Carotenoids have received considerable attention due to their interesting industrial applications and, more importantly, their potential beneficial effects on human health. Halophiles comprise a heterogeneous group of microorganisms that need salts for optimal growth.

Synthesis of salt-stable fluorescent nanoparticles (quantum dots) by polyextremophile halophilic bacteria

Scientific Reports, 2019
Here we report the biological synthesis of CdS fluorescent nanoparticles (Quantum Dots, QDs) by polyextremophile halophilic bacteria isolated from Atacama Salt Flat (Chile), Uyuni Salt Flat (Bolivia) and the Dead Sea (Israel).

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Antioxidative and chaperone‐like activities of a bacterioruberin‐rich extract: An innovative approach to protect the skin proteome

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
The bacteriorubin‐rich extract of Arthrobacter agilis has high antioxidative properties, protecting proteins against oxidative stress and preventing their carbonylation. It also protects proteins against saline and heat stresses, suggesting a dual mode of action including antioxidant and chaperone‐like activities.

Assessment of the Incidence of Vibrio spp. in Shrimp Farms Relative to Water Parameters and Their Molecular Detection in the Southwest Coastal Region of Bangladesh

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
There was no significant relation between the incidence of Vibrio spp. and water parameters, except ammonium in the winter season. In this study, 48.02% (85/177) isolates were positive for Vibrio cholerae, 51.97% (92/177) for Vibrio parahaemolyticus, 15.21% (14/92) for trh gene, and 6.52% (6/92) for tdh gene.

Megaplasmids in Gram-negative, moderately halophilic bacteria [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2003
We have discovered that many Halomonas species harbour large extrachromosomal DNA elements. Using currently available protocols it is technically very difficult to identify large plasmids in bacteria, and even more so when they are coated in mucous polysaccharide.

Rapid Adaptation to Road Salts in a Freshwater Microbial Eukaryote

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Road salt application is causing increased salinization of freshwater ecosystems. Using experimental evolution, we demonstrate that ciliates can quickly adapt to tolerate high salinities, but this adaptation may come at a cost to survival in the absence of salt.
