The effects of extremes of pH on the growth and transcriptomic profiles of three haloarchaea [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/3y1]

F1000Research, 2014
The halophilic archaea (haloarchaea) live in saline environments which are found across the globe.  In addition to salinity, these niches can be quite dynamic and experience extreme conditions such as low oxygen content, radiation (gamma and UV), pH and ...
