The extremely halophilic archaea (family Halobacteriaceae) are the dominant heterotrophic
organisms in hypersaline environments in which salt concentrations exceed 250–300 gl− 1 …

" This water" he told me," runs out to the eastern region, and flows into the Arabah; and when
it comes into the sea, into the sea of foul waters [ie, the Dead Sea], the water will become …

The paper considers the extent to which salinity determines the structure of biological
communities (composition and species richness and diversity) in saline lakes, ie inland …

The biosphere of planet Earth is delineated by physico‐chemical conditions that are too
harsh for, or inconsistent with, life processes and maintenance of the structure and function …

Halophilic Archaea of the order Halobacteriales are found in hypersaline environments in
which salt concentrations exceed 150–200 g/liter. They inhabit salt lakes such as the Great …

This chapter considers the saline environments, their special characteristics and how they
interact with halophilic microorganisms. As stated, hypersaline environments are extreme …

This chapter discusses the ecological aspects of the extremely halophilic microorganisms
and their biotopes, both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view. It explores the …

A strain of Halobacterium was isolated from the Dead Sea. This isolate differs from the
previously isolated halobacteria in (i) its requirement for sodium ions, which is lower than …

The class Halobacteria is one of the most diverse groups within the Euryarchaeota phylum,
whose members are ubiquitously distributed in hypersaline environments, where they often …

An extracellular protease has been isolated and partially purified from the extreme halophile
Halobacterium halobium (ATCC 43214). The major enzyme component has a M r of 66,000 …
