Genetics of Halophilic Microorganisms
This special issue belongs to the section “Microbial Genetics and Genomics“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Halophilic microorganisms can be found in all domains of life and can thrive in environments with high salt content. They have been a subject of study for many years due to their interesting properties and physiology. An understanding of the genetics of halophilic microorganisms (from gene expression and regulation to genomics) will help to better understand the mechanisms of how life can occur at high salinity levels. This Special Issue is dedicated to the Genetics of Halophilic Microorganisms and their viruses. Colleagues are cordially invited to contribute original research papers or reviews to this Special Issue.
