Transcriptome analysis of Haloquadratum walsbyi: vanity is but the surface

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2017
Background Haloquadratum walsbyi dominates saturated thalassic lakes worldwide where they can constitute up to 80-90% of the total prokaryotic community.

Structure of a retinal chromophore of dark-adapted middle rhodopsin as studied by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

open access: yesBiophysics and Physicobiology, 2021
Middle rhodopsin (MR) found from the archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi is evolutionarily located between two different types of rhodopsins, bacteriorhodopsin (BR) and sensory rhodopsin II (SRII). Some isomers of the chromophore retinal and the photochemical

Pyruvate: A key Nutrient in Hypersaline Environments?

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2015
Some of the most commonly occurring but difficult to isolate halophilic prokaryotes, Archaea as well as Bacteria, require or prefer pyruvate as carbon and energy source.

Patterns of microbial diversity along a salinity gradient in the Guerrero Negro solar saltern, Baja CA Sur, Mexico

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
The goal of this study was to use environmental sequencing of 16S rRNA and bop genes to compare the diversity of planktonic bacteria and archaea across ponds with increasing salinity in the Exportadora de Sal (ESSA) evaporative saltern in Guerrero Negro,

Probing Saltern Brines with an Oxygen Electrode: What Can We Learn about the Community Metabolism in Hypersaline Systems?

open access: yesLife, 2016
We have explored the use of optical oxygen electrodes to study oxygenic photosynthesis and heterotrophic activities in crystallizer brines of the salterns in Eilat, Israel.

Reconstructing viral genomes from the environment using fosmid clones: the case of haloviruses. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Metaviriomes, the viral genomes present in an environment, have been studied by direct sequencing of the viral DNA or by cloning in small insert libraries.

The Function of Gas Vesicles in Halophilic Archaea and Bacteria: Theories and Experimental Evidence

open access: yesLife, 2012
A few extremely halophilic Archaea (Halobacterium salinarum, Haloquadratum walsbyi, Haloferax mediterranei, Halorubrum vacuolatum, Halogeometricum borinquense, Haloplanus spp.) possess gas vesicles that bestow buoyancy on the cells. Gas vesicles are also

Cyclic nucleotides in archaea: Cyclic di‐AMP in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii and its putative role

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2019., 2019
Cyclic di‐adenylate monophosphate (c‐di‐AMP) is an essential second messenger in bacteria, where it was demonstrated to have a central function in cellular osmoregulation. For archaea, currently little information on second messengers is available. This study proves that c‐di‐AMP is present in vivo in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii and demonstrates ...

A Manual Curation Strategy to Improve Genome Annotation: Application to a Set of Haloarchael Genomes

open access: yesLife, 2015
Genome annotation errors are a persistent problem that impede research in the biosciences. A manual curation effort is described that attempts to produce high-quality genome annotations for a set of haloarchaeal genomes (Halobacterium salinarum and Hbt ...

An Acidic Exopolysaccharide from Haloarcula hispanica ATCC33960 and Two Genes Responsible for Its Synthesis

open access: yesArchaea, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
A 1.1 × 106 Da acidic exopolysaccharide (EPS) was purified from an extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula hispanica ATCC33960 with a production of 30 mg L−1 when grown in AS‐168 medium, which mainly composed of mannose and galactose with a small amount of glucose in a molar ratio of 55.9 : 43.2 : 0.9.
