Using the pan-genomic framework for the discovery of genomic islands in the haloarchaeon Halorubrum ezzemoulense

Y. Feng, D. Arsenault, A. S. Louyakis, N. Altman-Price, U. Gophna, R. T. Papke, J. P. Gogarten

This study uses pan-genomics to identify 50 genomic islands in Halorubrum ezzemoulense, revealing rare accessory genes and homeocassettes that contribute to adaptability and speciation.

The evolutionary origins of extreme halophilic Archaea

Y. Feng, U. Neri, S. Gosselin, A. S. Louyakis, R. T. Papke, U. Gophna, J. P. Gogarten

This paper resolves conflicts in the evolutionary placement of Nanohaloarchaea and Methanonatronarchaeia using phylogenetic and phylogenomic data, showing Nanohaloarchaea share a sister relationship with Haloarchaea.

Insights into gene expression changes under conditions that facilitate horizontal gene transfer (mating) of a model Archaeon

A. M. Makkay, A. S. Louyakis, N. Ram-Mohan, U. Gophna, J. P. Gogarten, R. T. Papke

The paper identifies genes and pathways associated with mating in Haloferax volcanii through transcriptomic analysis of gene expression during mating conditions.

Nutrient supplementation experiments with saltern microbial communities implicate utilization of DNA as a source of phosphorus

Z. Hua, M. Ouellette, A. M. Makkay, R. T. Papke, O. Zhaxybayeva

The paper shows that microbial communities use DNA as a phosphorus source in salterns, with growth dependent on additional carbon and nitrogen, and taxonomic shifts indicating preferential eDNA uptake from abundant taxa.

The Impact of Restriction-Modification Systems on Mating in Haloferax volcanii

M. Ouellette, A. M. Makkay, A. S. Louyakis, U. Gophna, J. P. Gogarten, R. T. Papke

This study examines how restriction-modification systems affect genetic exchange in Haloferax volcanii, finding that they reduce but do not block recombination between incompatible strains.

Interaction of two strongly divergent archaellins stabilizes the structure of the Halorubrum archaellum

M. G. Pyatibratov, A. S. Syutkin, T. E. F. Quax, T. N. Melnik, R. T. Papke, J. P. Gogarten, I. I. Kireev, A. K. Surin, S. N. Beznosov, A. V. Galeva, O. V. Fedorov

This study shows that two divergent archaellins in Halorubrum lacusprofundi work together to stabilize archaellar structure and improve thermal and salinity resistance.
