Seminal advances were made through probing the biochemistry, physiology, genetics and evolution of methanogens, extreme halophiles and thermoacidophiles. The nature of archaea as extremophiles can ...

In his classic review of bacterial evolution 55, Woese writes that the Archaea “are a collection of disparate phenotypes: the methanogens, the extreme halophiles, and the extremely thermophilic ...

The most saline lake on Earth (more than 10 times saltier than sea water) is a harsh environment where only salt-loving microbes from the Archaea domain, known as extreme halophiles, are able to ...

FriedhelmPfeiffer, the research group’s bioinformatics expert, created adatabase for halophile (Greek "salt-lovers") archaea, called HaloLex(see link below). Using the database, genetic and ...

Halophiles are found in all three domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya. A few halophiles have been investigated in depth and have become laboratory models for the study of the adaptation ...

Halophiles flourish in salty water ... Many extremophiles are evolutionary relics called Archaea, which may have been among the first homesteaders on Earth 3.5 billion years ago.

archaea, algae and viruses. Most were halophiles, a sub-group of extremophiles that can tolerate high levels of salt. Several of these halophiles were colourful microbes like purple sulphur ...
