Adaptation of the Haloarcula hispanica CRISPR-Cas system to a purified virus strictly requires a priming process

TL;DR: Infected by a newly isolated virus HHPV-2, Haloarcula hispanica type I-B CRISPR system acquired spacers discriminatively from viral sequences, which strongly indicate that adaptation in this system strictly requires a priming process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular characterization of the phaECHm genes, required for biosynthesis of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) in the extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula marismortui.

TL;DR: Results indicated that the phaEC genes are required for biosynthesis of PHB and might encode an active PHA synthase in the Haloarcula species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and Biochemical Characterization of the Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate-co-3-Hydroxyvalerate) Synthase in Haloferax mediterranei

TL;DR: Cloned the gene cluster encoding a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase in H. mediterranei indicated that a novel member of the class III PHA synthases, composed of PhaC(Hme) and PhaE (Hme), accounted for the PHBV synthesis in H.'s mediterrani.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current developments on polyhydroxyalkanoates synthesis by using halophiles as a promising cell factory.

TL;DR: This review is an endeavour to summarize the various research achievements in these areas which will help the readers to understand the current developments as well as the future efforts in PHA research.
