Novel viruses of Haloquadratum walsbyi expand the known archaeal virosphere of hypersaline environments [PDF]
Solar salterns represent unique systems with low diversity microbial communities that serve as an excellent model for studying the evolution and ecology of archaeal viruses and the interactions with their hosts.

Haloquadratum walsbyi : Limited Diversity in a Global Pond
BackgroundHaloquadratum walsbyi commonly dominates the microbial flora of hypersaline waters. Its cells are extremely fragile squares requiring >14%(w/v) salt for growth, properties that should limit its dispersal and promote geographical isolation and ...

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.

The genome of the square archaeon
Background The square halophilic archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi dominates NaCl-saturated and MgCl2 enriched aquatic ecosystems, which imposes a serious desiccation stress, caused by the extremely low water activity.

Global dominance of Haloquadratum walsbyi by a single genomovar with distinct gene content and viral cohorts from close relatives [PDF]
Abstract Haloquadratum walsbyi is generally the dominant species in hypersaline ecosystems at salt saturation conditions. Here, we followed the dynamics of its genomovars and associated viruses during recurrent evaporation-dilution disturbances of varying intensities at the mesocosm scale over 813 days.

Determining virus-host interactions and glycerol metabolism profiles in geographically diverse solar salterns with metagenomics [PDF]
Solar salterns are excellent model ecosystems for studying virus-microbial interactions because of their low microbial diversity, environmental stability, and high viral density.
