Photoactivation of attractant phototaxis receptor sensory rhodopsin I (SRI) in Halobacterium salinarum entails transfer of a proton from the retinylidene chromophore’s Schiff base (SB) to an ...

Within these niches, microorganisms such as cyanobacteria and members of the genus Halobacterium have developed unique survival strategies, including the synthesis of protective pigments and efficient ...

Halobacterium salinarum is a classic example, turning sunlight into energy using a unique pigment called bacteriorhodopsin. These microbes are not only tough but also beautiful, painting surreal ...

One of the first indications that protein glycosylation also takes place in prokaryotic cells came from work on Halobacterium halobium and Clostridia, in which the existence of an S-layer glycoprotein ...

Different types of microorganisms such as Bacillus, Alcaligenes, Rhizobium, Halobacterium, and Azotobacter produce large amounts of renewable and biodegradable materials. These substances are ...

With the development of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), high-resolution structures of macromolecules can be reconstructed by the single particle method efficiently. However, challenges may still ...
