Classification
Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Halobacteria; Haloferacales; Halorubraceae
Species
"Halorubrum sodomense"
(Discovered in 1980)
|
NCBI: [1] |
Description and Significance
Grows in high salt concentrated water, Uses ATP synthesis from a sunlight driven photoreceptor protein, Important for assisting with development of optogenetics, Salt tolerant
Genome Structure
In the genome: Two chromosomes and one plasmid, Circular shape, Proteins functioning in high saline/low temperature environments, Lives in hostile environments with immense solar exposure and hypersaline (concentrated seawater)
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
On the surface: AR3 (Archaerhodopsin) retrieves energy from sun, Growth stems from high ion concentration of Mg2+, Create salt-tolerant bacteria, Lives in a 10x higher sodium concentrated environment, PH of 6.0 (acidic)
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Located on surface water of Dead Sea and other high salt concentration bodies of water, Recombination has genetic information exchanged, mesophilic temperature ranges, biosafety risk group level 1
