Research proposal stressing the importance of these previously unknown communities. Post from the JGI, Joint Genome Institute.

A heterodimeric DNA polymerase: Evidence that members of Euryarchaeota possess a distinct DNA polymerase

Journal abstract, with references.

Journal of Biological Chemistry: Extreme Halophiles Synthesize Betaine from Glycine by Methylation

Research on the methyltransferase enzymes involved in synthesis of glycine betaine in Actinopolyspora halophila and Ectothiorhodospira halochloris. Transfer of the relevant genes increased salt tolerance in E. coli.
