By transforming 14 genes from the vac cluster of H. mediterranei into a gas-vesicle deficient archaeon H. volcanii, researchers found that H. volcanii is able to produce functional gas vacuoles. (wikipedia.org)
Auch führt die gleichzeitige Anwesenheit von mcGvpD und mcGvpE in Haloferax volcanii-Transformanten zu einer starken Reduktion der mcGvpE-Menge und könnte somit den negativen Regulationsmechanismus der Gasvesikelbildung darstellen. (tu-darmstadt.de)
Here, we adapt the ATAC-seq assay to archaea and use it to map the accessible landscape of the genome of the euryarchaeote Haloferax volcanii . (biomedcentral.com)
Applying orthogonal single-molecule footprinting methods, we quantify the absolute levels of physical protection of H. volcanii and find that Haloferax chromatin is similarly or only slightly more accessible, in aggregate, than that of eukaryotes. (biomedcentral.com)
The species was initially named Halobacterium mediterranei, then renamed Haloferax mediterranei in 1986. (wikipedia.org)
Like some other members of the Halobacteriales group, notably Halobacterium salinarum, Haloferax mediterranei produces gas vesicles, believed to act aiding buoyancy. (wikipedia.org)
Microorganism1
H. mediterranei is an extremely versatile microorganism that can anaerobically or aerobically, tolerate a wide range of salinities (between 10% and 32.5%), a wide range of pH values (between 5.75 and 8.75) and a wide range of temperatures (between 18 and 55oC). (wikipedia.org)
Genome1
The full genome of H. mediterranei was sequenced in 2012. (wikipedia.org)
Bacteria2
H. mediterranei, when grown under phosphate limitation, produces polyhydroxyalkanoates, a type of biodegradable thermoplastic currently commercially produced using bacteria. (wikipedia.org)
To achieve this, they have used Haloferax Mediterranei , a bacteria that feeds on the carbohydrates present in algae and metabolize them in polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), a type of polyester produced in nature through the action of bacteria, usually by fermentation of sugar or lipids.

Produces2
Haloferax mediterranei produces a mucous exopolysaccharide matrix that accumulates as a top layer in liquid medium. (wikipedia.org)
Haloferax mediterranei produces C50 carotenoids that have strong antioxidant properties. (uhu.es)
Species1
Haloferax mediterranei is a species of archaea in the family Haloferacaceae. (wikipedia.org)
Functional1
Our results provide the first comprehensive maps of chromatin accessibility and active transcription in Haloferax across conditions and thus a foundation for future functional studies of archaeal chromatin. (biomedcentral.com)
Growth2
Haloferax mediterranei is the fastest-growing archaeon in the Halobacteriales family, with generation times as low as 1.2 hours reported under optimal laboratory growth conditions.Haloferax mediterranei is able to use a variety of compounds as carbon and energy sources, and can accumulate materials to serve as a source of carbon and energy, as well as use organic and inorganic nitrogen sources. (wikipedia.org)
It has been suggested that H. mediterranei is a good candidate for industrial production of biodegradable thermoplastics due to its fast growth, low contamination rates and ease of lysis. (wikipedia.org)
Conditions1
Haloferax mediterranei is the fastest-growing known member of the Halobacteriales under optimal laboratory conditions, but it is relatively rare in the environment. (wikipedia.org)
Cells2
Haloferax mediterranei is an extremely pleomorphic organism, cells are usually flat disks. (wikipedia.org)
Francis Mojica, one of the discoverers of CRISPR, examines cells from haloferax mediterranei. (disappointmentmedia.com)
