Haloarchaea are adapted to survive under extreme saline conditions by accumulating
osmolytes and salts to counteract the high osmotic pressure in their habitats. As a …

Bioremediation is the use of microorganisms for the degradation or removal of contaminants.
Most bioremediation research has focused on processes performed by the domain Bacteria; …

Extremophilic microbes show a unique metabolism due to the adaptations they display to
deal with extreme environmental parameters characterizing the extreme ecosystems that …

Microbial natural products from microbes in extreme environments, including haloarchaea,
and halophilic bacteria, possess a huge capacity to produce novel antibiotics. Additionally …

Globally, phytopathogenic fungi infections cause crop diseases, resulting in crop yield and
quality loss. Extensive use of chemical fungicides leads to resistance and high costs for …

Lignocellulosic biofuels and chemicals have great potential to reduce our dependence on
fossil fuels and mitigate air pollution by cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions …

Simple Summary Halophilic archaea are microorganisms that inhabit in extreme
environments for life, under salt saturation, high temperature and elevated UV radiation. The …

Numerous, diverse, highly variable defense and offense genetic systems are encoded in
most bacterial genomes and are involved in various forms of conflict among competing …

The knowledge of antibiotics produced by Archaea (archaeocins) is still limited. So far, only
two types of archaeocins are known:(i) sulfolobicins, produced by the extremely thermophilic …

Halocins are antimicrobial peptides or proteins that are produced by halophilic archaea.
Although their function in inhibiting the growth of closely related haloarchaeal strains is well …
