Extremely halophilic archaeal communities are resilient to short‐term entombment in halite

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 3370-3383, July 2021., 2021
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.

Evaluating the potential for Haloarchaea to serve as ice nucleating particles [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2021
Aerosols play a crucial role in cloud formation. Biologically derived materials from bacteria, fungi, pollen, lichen, viruses, algae, and diatoms can serve as ice nucleating particles (INPs), some of which initiate glaciation in clouds at relatively warm

Metabolic potential of the moderate halophile Yangia sp. ND199 for co‐production of polyhydroxyalkanoates and exopolysaccharides

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 10, Issue 1, February 2021., 2021
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.

Production of Poly(3‐Hydroxybutyrate) by Haloarcula, Halorubrum, and Natrinema Haloarchaeal Genera Using Starch as a Carbon Source

Archaea, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
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.

A Spotlight on Archaea in Humans, Livestock and Poultry: A Review. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
The microbiota includes prokaryotes (archaea and bacteria) and eukaryotes. Archaea are single‐celled prokaryotes and essential part of gut microbiome. Researches on archaea in ruminants and humans are more than mono‐gastric. The low abundance of archaea in the gut depends on the method used (metagenomics or meta‐transcriptomic) and age of people or ...

Environmental genomics of "Haloquadratum walsbyi" in a saltern crystallizer indicates a large pool of accessory genes in an otherwise coherent species

BMC Genomics, 2006
Background Mature saturated brine (crystallizers) communities are largely dominated (>80% of cells) by the square halophilic archaeon "Haloquadratum walsbyi".

Substrate specificities of inteins investigated by QuickDrop‐cassette mutagenesis

FEBS Letters, Volume 594, Issue 20, Page 3338-3355, October 2020., 2020
Inteins catalyze self‐excision from host precursor proteins while concomitantly ligating the flanking substrates (exteins) with a peptide bond. Noncatalytic extein residues near the splice junctions, such as the residues at the −1 and +2 positions, often strongly influence the protein‐splicing efficiency. The substrate specificities of inteins have not

Visualizing the invisible: class excursions to ignite children’s enthusiasm for microbes

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 844-887, July 2020., 2020
The ubiquity of microbes, their manifold activities and pervasive influence on the health of all life, local environments and the planet, necessitate an understanding of relevant microbial processes for informed, evidence‐based decision‐making at all levels of society – i.e. Microbiology Literacy.

Whole‐genome comparison between the type strain of Halobacterium salinarum (DSM 3754T) and the laboratory strains R1 and NRC‐1

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2020., 2020
The genome of the Halobacterium salinarum type strain (91‐R6, DSM 3754) was compared at the DNA and protein levels to the genomes of two well‐studied laboratory strains, NRC‐1 and R1. The chromosomes and portions of the plasmids were very closely related. However, distinct homologs for proteins involved in motility and N‐glycosylation were encountered.

Comparison of prokaryotic community structure from Mediterranean and Atlantic saltern concentrator ponds by a metagenomic approach

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
We analyzed the prokaryotic community structure of a saltern pond with 21 % total salts located in Isla Cristina, Huelva, Southwest Spain, close to the Atlantic ocean coast.
