Purine salvage in two halophilic archaea: characterization of salvage pathways and isolation of mutants resistant to purine analogs.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Feb 1998

Stuer-Lauridsen B, Nygaard P

Abstract excerpt

In exponentially growing cultures of the extreme halophile Halobacterium halobium and the moderate halophile Haloferax volcanii, growth characteristics including intracellular protein levels, RNA content, and nucleotide pool sizes were analyzed. This is the first report on pool sizes of nucleosid...
