De Novo Sequences of Haloquadratum walsbyi from Lake Tyrrell, Australia, Reveal a Variable Genomic Landscape [PDF]
Hypersaline systems near salt saturation levels represent an extreme environment, in which organisms grow and survive near the limits of life. One of the abundant members of the microbial communities in hypersaline systems is the square archaeon, Haloquadratum walsbyi.

Succession and assembly mechanisms of seawater prokaryotic communities along an extremely wide salinity gradient. [PDF]
Succession and assembly mechanisms of prokaryotic communities along an extremely wide salinity gradient. Abstract Salinity is an important environmental factor in microbial ecology for affecting the microbial communities in diverse environments. Understanding the salinity adaptation mechanisms of a microbial community is a significant issue, while most

The complete genomes of four Halobacterium salinarum strains were compared in detail. Two strains (91‐R6T and 63‐R2) were isolated in 1934 by Lochhead from cow and buffalo hides. From the results of these comparisons, we conclude that strain 63‐R2 is the immediate ancestor of the two, widely used laboratory strains NRC‐1 and R1.

Scientific novelty beyond the experiment
Practical experiments drive important scientific discoveries in biology, but theory‐based research studies also contribute novel—sometimes paradigm‐changing—findings. Here, we appraise the roles of theory‐based approaches focusing on the experiment‐dominated wet‐biology research areas of microbiology. Theory‐based studies can transcend barriers imposed

Abstract Environmental tolerance curves, representing absolute fitness against the environment, are an empirical assessment of the fundamental niche, and emerge from the phenotypic plasticity of underlying phenotypic traits. Dynamic plastic responses of these traits can lead to acclimation effects, whereby recent past environments impact current ...

Summary Soda‐saline lakes are polyextreme environments inhabited by many haloalkaliphiles, including one of the most abundant Spiribacter species. However, its mechanisms of adaptation are not ecophysiologically characterized. Based on a large‐scale cultivation strategy, we obtained a representative isolate of this Spiribacter species whose relative ...

Extremely halophilic archaeal communities are resilient to short‐term entombment in halite
Summary Some haloarchaea avoid the harsh conditions present in evaporating brines by entombment in brine inclusions within forming halite crystals, where a subset of haloarchaea survives over geological time. However, shifts in the community structure of halite‐entombed archaeal communities remain poorly understood.

A moderate halophile Yangia sp. ND199, isolated from a mangrove sample in Northern Vietnam and known to accumulate polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), was shown to have the potential for producing also exopolysaccharides (EPSs). Genome sequence analysis of the closely related Yangia sp.

Microbial production of bioplastics, derived from poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), have provided a promising alternative towards plastic pollution. Compared to other extremophiles, halophilic archaea are considered as cell factories for PHB production by using renewable, inexpensive carbon sources, thus decreasing the fermentation cost.
