De Novo Sequences of Haloquadratum walsbyi from Lake Tyrrell, Australia, Reveal a Variable Genomic Landscape [PDF]
Archaea, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 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.

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

Conditional Alternative Protein Splicing Promoted by Inteins from Haloquadratum walsbyi. [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2022 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.

Determining virus-host interactions and glycerol metabolism profiles in geographically diverse solar salterns with metagenomics [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Solar salterns are excellent model ecosystems for studying virus-microbial interactions because of their low microbial diversity, environmental stability, and high viral density.

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 12, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 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
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1131-1173, June 2023., 2023 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

Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 522-536, December 2022., 2022 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 ...

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 6463-6482, November 2021., 2021 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
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.

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.
