Archaeal Genes Code for GGDEF Domain Proteins With Diguanylate Cyclase Activity
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.

Biodegradation of Organic Pollutants by Halophilic Bacteria and Archaea
Hypersaline environments are important for both surface extension and ecological significance. As all other ecosystems, they are impacted by pollution.

Landscape Mapping Reveals Depth‐Dependent Regional Heterogeneity in Soil Microbial Diversity
ABSTRACT Aim To identify microbial hotspots and investigate the spatial distribution and assembly mechanisms of soil bacterial and archaeal communities across a coastal ecosystem, and to assess implications for biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management. Location Yellow River Delta, China (YRD, ~13,680 km2 coastal plain). Methods A total

Archaeal Cytoskeletal Protein CetZ1 Influences Assembly of the Motility Machinery
The Haloferax volcanii tubulin‐like protein CetZ1 is required for rod‐cell morphogenesis and motility. We show that CetZ1 loss or GTPase inactivation impairs assembly of the motility machinery, including the archaellum base protein ArlD, the chemotaxis adaptor CheW1, and the response regulator CheY.

ECOLOGY OF HALOPHILIC BACTERIA DISTRIBUTED IN THE HYPERSALINE ENVIRONMENTS OF UZBEKISTAN AND THEIR POTENTIAL OF FORMING EXOPOLYSACARIDES [PDF]
Halophilic and halotolerant bacteria were isolated from hypersaline waters, soils and salt deposits in Karakalpakstan (Nukus, Kungrad), Kashkadarya (Dekhkanabad), Fergana (Yazyavan), Namangan (Chust, Mingbulak) regions.

Halophilic Bacteria as a Source of Novel Hydrolytic Enzymes
Hydrolases constitute a class of enzymes widely distributed in nature from bacteria to higher eukaryotes. The halotolerance of many enzymes derived from halophilic bacteria can be exploited wherever enzymatic transformations are required to function ...

MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF MODERATELY HALOPHILIC BACTERIA AND EXTREMELY HALOPHILIC ARCHAEA ISOLATED FROM SALTED SHEEP SKINS CONTAINING RED AND YELLOW DISCOLORATIONS [PDF]
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 ...

Halophilic bacteria isolated from brine cured cattle hides
Halophilic and halotolerant organisms found on brine cured hides were isolated and at least partially characterized. All of the halophilic bacteria isolated from the brine cured cattle hide samples used in these experiments were motile.
