Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biochemical and cellular analyses of halophilic microbes are often more difficult because of the high internal salt concentrations of these cells, usually equivalent to the external salt levels (2-5 M). The presence of salt often interferes with standard analytical methods (e.g. mass spectroscopy), and for this issue, we encourage the submission of manuscripts relating to halophilic microbes, particularly extremely halophilic microbes, and where there has been shown to be an improvement in their analysis by new or modified techniques that overcome the problems of salt. Examples of the types of studies include, electron microscopy of extreme halophiles, assay of bioactive compounds, purification of halophilic proteins, recovery of cytoplasmic metabolites free of salt, etc.
