Abstract
Significance We report on cultivation and characterization of an association between Candidatus Nanohalobium constans and its host, the chitinotrophic haloarchaeon Halomicrobium LC1Hm, obtained from a crystallizer pond of marine solar salterns. High-quality nanohaloarchael genome sequence in conjunction with electron- and fluorescence microscopy, growth analysis, and proteomic and metabolomic data revealed mutually beneficial

Abstract
Abstract This protocol describes a rapid protein extraction method for the archaeon Candidatus Vulcanisaeta moutnovskia, which can be also implemented for other archaea. The utilization of two different methods for protein extraction constitute the main step of the protocol. Method I involves the extraction with a multi-chaotropic lysis buffer containing a non-denaturing zwitterionic detergent, most efficient for extracting cytosolic proteins. Method II involves a denaturing anionic dete

Abstract
SummaryA novel moderately thermophilic, facultatively anaerobic chemoorganotrophic bacterium strainP3M‐2Twas isolated from a microbial mat developing on the wooden surface of a chute under the flow of hot water (46°C) coming out of a 2775‐m‐deep oil exploration well (Tomsk region,Russia). StrainP3M‐2Tis a moderate thermophile and facultative anaerobe growing on mono‐, di‐ or polysaccharides by aerobic respiration, fermentation or by reducing diverse electron acceptors [nitrite,Fe(III),As(V)].
