Numerical taxonomy of moderately halophilic Gram-negative rods [PDF]
, 1982 A study was made of 516 randomly selected isolates of moderately halophilic bacteria from solar salterns showing salinities between 8.8 and 40.0% (w/v) total salts, located in S.E. Spain.

Halophilic Nuclease from a Moderately Halophilic Micrococcus varians [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1974 The moderately halophilic bacterium Micrococcus varians , isolated from soy sauce mash, produced extracellular nuclease when cultivated aerobically in media containing 1 to 4 M NaCl or KCl. The enzyme, purified to an electrophoretically homogeneous state, had both ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease activities.

Halophilic Amylase from a Moderately Halophilic Micrococcus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1972 A moderately halophilic Micrococcus sp., isolated from unrefined solar salt, produced a considerable amount of extracellular dextrinogenic amylase when cultivated aerobically in media containing 1 to 3 m NaCl. The Micrococcus amylase had maximal activity at

A Taxonomic Study of Heterotrophic Halophilic and Non- halophilic Bacteria from a Solar Saltern [PDF]
, 1987 A total of 564 strains of heterotrophic non-halophilic, marine, moderately halophilic and extremely halophilic bacteria was isolated from a saltern located near Huelva, SW Spain, facing the Atlantic Ocean.

Differential interactions of halophilic and non-halophilic proteases with nanoparticles [PDF]
Sustainable Chemical Processes, 2014 Increase in the industrial use of nanomaterials and nanoparticles (NPs) make their release into the environment inevitable. This may lead to environmental contamination and exposure of the biological/ microbial diversity. Nanoparticles have been reported to impregnate the cells and interact with cellular biomolecules especially proteins and DNA ...

The structure of a PII signaling protein from a halophilic archaeon reveals novel traits and high-salt adaptations [PDF]
, 2014 To obtain insights into archaeal nitrogen signaling and haloadaptation of the nitrogen/carbon/energy-signaling protein PII, we determined crystal structures of recombinantly produced GlnK2 from the extreme halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei ...

Osmotic stress confers enhanced cell integrity to hydrostatic pressure but impairs growth in Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2 [PDF]
, 2016 Alcanivorax is a hydrocarbonoclastic genus dominating oil spills worldwide. While its presence has been detected in oil-polluted seawaters, marine sediment and salt marshes under ambient pressure, its presence in deep-sea oil-contaminated environments is

Phylogenetic similarity of aerobic gram-negative halophilic bacteria from a deep-sea hydrothermal mound and Antarctic habitats [PDF]
, 2001 Deep-sea halophilic strains, 4 halomonads and 1 pseudoalteromonad, were isolated from high-temperature hydrothermal fluids of the TAG hydrothermal mound in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Structural features of halophilicity derived from the crystal structure of dihydrofolate reductase from the Dead Sea halophilic archaeon, Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
, 1982 Background: The proteins of halophilic archaea require high salt concentrations both for stability and for activity, whereas they denature at low ionic strength. The structural basis for this phenomenon is not yet well understood.
