From community approaches to single-cell genomics: the discovery of ubiquitous hyperhalophilic Bacteroidetes generalists [PDF]
The microbiota of multi-pond solar salterns around the world has been analyzed using a variety of culture-dependent and molecular techniques. However, studies addressing the dynamic nature of these systems are very scarce.

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.

Biogeography at the limits of life: Do extremophilic microbial communities show biogeographical regionalization? [PDF]
Aim Biogeographical regions are the fundamental geographical units for grouping Earth's biodiversity. Biogeographical regionalization has been demonstrated for many higher taxa, such as terrestrial plants and vertebrates, but not in microbial communities.

Prokaryotic Diversity in Aran-Bidgol Salt Lake, the Largest Hypersaline Playa in Iran [PDF]
Prokaryotic diversity in Aran-Bidgol salt lake, a thalasohaline lake in Iran, was studied by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), cultivation techniques, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR-amplified fragments of 16S rRNA genes ...

Characterization of eukaryotic microbial diversity in hypersaline Lake Tyrrell, Australia. [PDF]
This study describes the community structure of the microbial eukaryotic community from hypersaline Lake Tyrrell, Australia, using near full length 18S rRNA sequences. Water samples were taken in both summer and winter over a 4-year period. The extent of

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

Ser262 determines the chloride-dependent colour tuning of a new halorhodopsin from Haloquadratum walsbyi [PDF]
Light is an important environmental signal for all organisms on earth because it is essential for physiological signalling and the regulation of most biological systems. Halophiles found in salt-saturated ponds encode various archaeal rhodopsins and thereby harvest various wavelengths of light either for ion transportation or as sensory mediators.
