Halophilic archaea, also referred to as haloarchaea, dominate hypersaline environments. To
survive under such extreme conditions, haloarchaea and their enzymes have evolved to …

Glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are archaeal monolayer membrane lipids
that can provide a competitive advantage in extreme environments. Here, we identify a …

The Halobacteria constitute one of the largest groups within the Archaea. The hierarchical
relationship among members of this large class, which comprises a single order and a …

Currently, there are four mainstream taxonomic opinions on the classification of the class
Halobacteria at the family and order levels. The International Committee on Systematics of …

The evolutionary interrelationships between the archaeal organisms which comprise the
class Halobacteria have proven difficult to elucidate using traditional phylogenetic tools. The …

Halophilic archaea represent a promising natural source of carotenoids. However, little
information is available about the biological effects of carotenoids from halophilic archaea …

The icy moons of the outer Solar System harbor potentially habitable environments for life,
however, compared to the terrestrial biosphere, these environments are characterized by …

We investigated the phylogenetic diversity and community structure of members of the
halophilic Archaea (order Halobacteriales) in five distinct sediment habitats that experience …

Three halophilic archaeal strains, NEN8T, GDY88T and ZY14T, were isolated from a salt
lake in Tibet and coarse sea salt samples from Guangdong and Hebei, China, respectively …

Halophilic bacteria are categorized based on their requirements to salt. They apply some
strategies in adaptation to the high saline environment. Their low nutritional requirements …
