Haloferax volcanii is an obligate halophilic archaeon with its origin in the Dead Sea. Simple laboratory culture conditions and a wide range of genetic tools have made it a model organism for studying haloarchaeal cell biology. Halophilic enzymes of...

Halofrax volcanii as immobilised whole cell biocatalyst: new applications for halophilic systems (2019)
Journal Article
Haque, R., Paradisi, F., & Allers, T. (2019). Halofrax volcanii as immobilised whole cell biocatalyst: new applications for halophilic systems. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 103(9), 3807-3817. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-019-09725-y

Enzyme-mediated synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds is a ‘green’ alternative to traditional synthetic chemistry, and microbial engineering opens up the possibility of using whole cells as mini-factories. Whole-cell biocatalysis reduces cost by elim... Read More about Halofrax volcanii as immobilised whole cell biocatalyst: new applications for halophilic systems.
