TL;DR: Analysis of the genome sequence shows the presence of pathways for uptake and utilization of amino acids, active sodium-proton antiporter and potassium uptake systems, sophisticated photosensory and signal transduction pathways, and DNA replication, transcription, and translation systems resembling more complex eukaryotic organisms.

TL;DR: Cetate-grown cultures of Methanosarcina thermophila converted uniformly labeled [14C]Kepone to polar and nonpolar products with 86% of the Kepone degraded within the first 10 days.

TL;DR: Cell-free extracts catalyzed the enzymatic reduction of potassium tellurite in a reaction which was dependent on NADH oxidation and a reduced environment and N. occultus had an inducibleTellurite reductase activity.

TL;DR: A minimal medium supporting the growth of both toxigenic and nontoxigenic strains of Pasteurella multocida to optical densities of > 0.5 (600 nm) was developed and toxin (PMT) was produced when cells of a known toxigenics strain were cultivated in the minimal medium.

TL;DR: The isolated membranes of the extreme haloalkaliphilic archaeon Natronococcus occultus were able to hydrolyze ATP via an ATPase, which required the presence of Mg(2+), high concentrations of NaCl, and a pH value of 9.1 mM, which was specific for the hydrolysis of ATP with slight activity towards GTP, CTP, and ITP.
