Differences in gene expression patterns between cultured and natural Haloquadratum walsbyi ecotypes [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Solar crystallizer ponds are characterized by high population density with a relatively simple community structure in terms of species composition. The microbial community in the solar saltern of Santa Pola (Alicante, Spain), is largely dominated by the ...

Hypersaline Lake Urmia: a potential hotspot for microbial genomic variation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Lake Urmia located in Iran is a hypersaline environment with a salinity of about 27% (w/v). Metagenomic analyses of water samples collected from six locations in the lake exhibited a microbial community dominated by representatives of the family ...

The PL6-Family Plasmids of Haloquadratum Are Virus-Related
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Plasmids PL6A and PL6B are both carried by the C23T strain of the square archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi, and are closely related (76% nucleotide identity), circular, about 6 kb in size, and display the same gene synteny. They are unrelated to other known
