Project description:Diverse studies including protemoics, genome-wide binding, and transcriptional profiling of the model halophile Halobacterium salinarum suggest that its putative histone protein acts not as a chromatin protein but a direct and indirect transcriptional regulator. Here, we characterise the putative histone (HstA) of another model halophile (Haloferax volcanii) with ChIP-Seq to understand its genome-wide binding, and compare it with binding patterns seen from histones, nucleoid-associated proteins, and transcription factors of Halobacterium salinarum, other archaea, and eukaryotes. Analysis of this data by visual inspection, start site occupancy profiles, DNA motif searching, and dinucleotide periodicity suggests that the binding mode of halophilic histones shares features with TFs, NAPs, and more typical archaeal/eukaryotic histones.

Project description:Haloarchaea produce C50 carotenoids such as bacterioruberin, which are of biotechnological in-terest. This study aimed to analyze the effect of different environmental and nutritional conditions on the cellular growth and dynamics of carotenoids accumulation in Haloferax mediterranei. The maximum production of carotenoids (40 µg·mL-1) was obtained during the stationary phase of growth, probably due to nutrient-limiting conditions (one-step culture). By seven days of culture, 1 mL culture produced 22.4 mg of dry weight biomass containing 0.18 % (w/w) of carotenoids. On the other hand, carbon-deficient cultures (low C/N ratio) were observed to be optimum for C50 bacterioruberin production by Hfx. mediterranei, but negatively affected the growth of cells. Thus, a two-steps process was evaluated for optimum carotenoids yield. In the first step, a nutri-ent-repleted culture medium enabled the haloarchaea to produce biomass, while in the second step, the biomass was incubated under osmotic stress and in a carbon-deficient medium. Under the conditions used, the obtained biomass contained 0.27% (w/w) of carotenoids after seven days, which accounts for 58.49 µg·mL-1 of carotenoids for a culture with turbidity 14.0.

Project description:Halocins are antimicrobial peptides or proteins that are produced by halophilic archaea. Although their function in inhibiting the growth of closely related haloarchaeal strains is well known, other physiological functions of halocins have also been proposed in recent years. To unveil the possible function and mechanism of halocins in DNA uptake, the halocin H4 producing strain Haloferax mediterranei DF50-?EPS (incapable of EPS production) was used in this study. We found that deletion of the halH4 resulted in the strain DF50-?EPS?halH4 which exhibited loss of natural DNA uptake ability. Moreover, supernatants of the halocin producing strain were capable of inducing the ability to uptake DNA. Obviously, halocin is likely responsible for inducing DNA uptake. Cell surface ultrastructures of these strains are varied from strains DF50-?EPS to DF50-?EPS?halH4. The cell surface of strain DF50-?EPS is rough due to numerous pinholes, while that of the strain DF50-?EPS?halH4 is smooth without visible pinholes. The morphology of the halH4 complemented strain, DF50-?EPS?halH4::H4, shows an intermediate phenotype between strains DF50-?EPS and DF50-?EPS?halH4. We speculate that halocin H4 may accelerate DNA uptake by perforating the cell surface ultrastructure. The halocin H4 may represent a novel inducer or activator of DNA uptake in Hfx. mediterranei.

Project description:Haloarchaea can survive and thrive under exposure to a wide range of extreme environmental factors, which represents a potential interest to biotechnology. Growth responses to different stressful conditions were examined in the haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei R4. It has been demonstrated that this halophilic archaeon is able to grow between 10 and 32.5% (w/v) of sea water, at 32-52 °C, although it is expected to grow in temperatures lower than 32 °C, and between 5.75 and 8.75 of pH. Moreover, it can also grow under high metal concentrations (nickel, lithium, cobalt, arsenic), which are toxic to most living beings, making it a promising candidate for future biotechnological purposes and industrial applications. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis quantified the intracellular ion concentrations of these four metals in Hfx. mediterranei, concluding that this haloarchaeon can accumulate Li+, Co2+, As5+, and Ni2+ within the cell. This paper is the first report on Hfx. mediterranei in which multiple stress conditions have been studied to explore the mechanism of stress resistance. It constitutes the most detailed study in Haloarchaea, and, as a consequence, new biotechnological and industrial applications have emerged.
