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.

Global dominance of Haloquadratum walsbyi by a single genomovar with distinct gene content and viral cohorts from close relatives. [PDF]
ISME JAbstract 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.

Explaining microbial population genomics through phage predation [PDF]
, 2009 The remarkable diversity of genes within the pool of prokaryotic genomes belonging to the same species or pan-genome is difficult to reconcile with the widely accepted paradigm which asserts that periodic selection within bacterial populations would ...

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 ...

Retinal-binding proteins mirror prokaryotic dynamics in multipond solar salterns [PDF]
, 2015 Microbial opsin (i.e. retinal-binding protein) dynamics has been studied along a salinity gradient in Santa Pola solar salterns (Alicante, Spain) by using culture-independent approaches and statistical analyses.

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

Diversity of the cell-wall associated genomic island of the archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2015 Haloquadratum walsbyi represents up to 80% of cells in NaCl-saturated brines worldwide, but is notoriously difficult to maintain under laboratory conditions. In order to establish the extent of genetic diversity in a natural population of this microbe, we screened a H. walsbyi enriched metagenomic fosmid library and recovered seven novel version of its

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.
