TLDR
Inhibition of carotenoid pigments by 10−6 M diphenylamine decreased photoreactivation efficiency, and the carotene pigments have been implicated in an energy-transfer role to augment the photore activation mechanism.Abstract:
Extremely halophilic bacteria are able to survive in a natural environment exposed to high doses of ultraviolet irradiation. One such organism, Halobacterium cutirubrum, has been characterized to p...read more

Bacteriorhodopsin and the purple membrane of halobacteria
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial water stress.
TL;DR: It is argued that, notwithstanding the indispensability of water in living systems and the unique properties of solvent water, quantitative variations in the amount of water available are of less direct microbiological significance than is generally conceded.

Biotic adaptations in temporary lentic waters, with special reference to those in semi-arid and arid regions
TL;DR: Despite the obvious ubiquity, ecological importance and limnological interest of temporary waters, most of the existing literature has little to say about them as discussed by the authors, except a few recent and otherwise comprehensive texts of North American or European provenance, make scant if any reference.
