The discovery that an osmolyte (mainly KCl) balances the high salt concentration of the Dead Sea in extreme halophile archaea initiated an exciting era of research into the mechanisms that sustain ...

These organisms, mainly halophiles (thriving in high salt concentrations ... killing these salt-loving bacteria and archaea. After one rare heavy rainfall in the Atacama, up to 87 percent ...

The salt- ving halophiles were an early focus of interest ... in the mid­dle, the archaebacteria or archaea. Thus the archaebacteria can be considered worthy of equal rank to all of the bacteria and ...

Researchers have succeeded in cultivating an ultra-small bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified it as new species and genus of Minisyncoccus archaeiphilus. AIST researchers ...

Archaea are organisms consisting of a single cell without a nucleus and with distinct structural, physiological and evolutionary characteristics. They inhabit a wide range of habitats, including ...

To assess the interdependency between archaea and bacteria, we conducted an antibiotic susceptibility test. We initiated the test by inoculating 100 μL of co-culture into 10 glass tubes with 6 mL of ...

The importance of extreme environments and their microbial inhabitants has been gaining visibility. Such environments account for most of Earth's habitable zone by volume (Gold, 1992; Charette and ...
