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.

Whole‐genome comparison between the type strain of Halobacterium salinarum (DSM 3754T) and the laboratory strains R1 and NRC‐1

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2020., 2020
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.

Comparison of prokaryotic community structure from Mediterranean and Atlantic saltern concentrator ponds by a metagenomic approach

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
We analyzed the prokaryotic community structure of a saltern pond with 21 % total salts located in Isla Cristina, Huelva, Southwest Spain, close to the Atlantic ocean coast.

Pyruvate: A key Nutrient in Hypersaline Environments?

Microorganisms, 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.

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

Biophysics 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

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

Frontiers 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?

Life, 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]

PLoS 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

Life, 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

Sensitivity of Haloquadratum and Salinibacter to antibiotics and other inhibitors: implications for the assessment of the contribution of Archaea and Bacteria to heterotrophic activities in hypersaline environments. [PDF]

FEMS microbiology ecology, 2008
Antibiotics and bile salts have been used to differentiate between heterotrophic activity of halophilic Archaea and Bacteria in saltern ponds. In NaCl-saturated brines of crystallizer ponds, most activity was attributed to Archaea. Following the recent isolation of Haloquadratum, the dominant archaeon in the salterns (reported to be sensitive to ...
