Halophilic archaea, a group of extremophilic microorganisms thriving in hypersaline environments, have garnered considerable attention due to their unique capacity to synthesise carotenoids. Among ...

Recently, halite and sulfate evaporate rocks have been discovered on Mars by the NASA rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. It is reasonable to propose that halophilic microorganisms could have potentially ...

Microorganisms are found everywhere, even under the most extreme environmental conditions. These include extremely high temperature environments in which growth of certain Archaea – the most primitive ...

Archaea, small single-celled organisms, are particularly interesting for scientists because they are able to live under extreme environmental conditions, for instance under high salt concentrations, ...

Decoding the conversations between microbes of hypersaline environments reveals deep insights into the origins of complex life. Single-celled organisms, such as bacteria and archaea, have developed ...
