Doctor of Philosophy: Bioprospecting of haloarchaea for the development and expression of potent novel antioxidant enzymes

Different types of halophiles have solved the problem how to hope with salt stress (and often with other forms of stress as well) in different ways, so that the study of microbial life at high salt concentrations can answer many basic questions on the adaptation of microorganisms to their environments. Most known halophiles are relatively easy to grow, and genera such as Halobacterium, Haloferax.
