Diversity of the cell-wall associated genomic island of the archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi [PDF]
Background: Haloquadratum walsbyi represents up to 80 % of cells in NaCl-saturated brines worldwide, but is notoriously difficult to maintain under laboratory conditions.

Novel insights into the diversity of halophilic microorganisms and their functioning in hypersaline ecosystems [PDF]
Our understanding of the microbial diversity inhabiting hypersaline environments, here defined as containing >100–150 g/L salts, has greatly increased in the past five years. Halophiles are found in each of the three domains of life.

Haloquadratum walsbyi gen. nov., sp. nov., the square haloarchaeon of Walsby, isolated from saltern crystallizers in Australia and Spain [PDF]
Strains C23T and HBSQ001 were isolated from solar salterns and are novel square-shaped, aerobic, extremely halophilic members of the domain Archaea and family Halobacteriaceae. Cells stained Gram-negative and grew optimally in media containing 18 % salts

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

Conditional Alternative Protein Splicing Promoted by Inteins from Haloquadratum walsbyi. [PDF]
Protein splicing is a post-translational process by which an intervening protein, or an intein, catalyzes its own excision from flanking polypeptides, or exteins, coupled to extein ligation. Four inteins interrupt the MCM helicase of the halophile Haloquadratum walsbyi, two of which are mini-inteins that lack a homing endonuclease.
