Article Abstract
Haloferax and Halobellus are the representatives of the family Haloferacaceae and they are dominant in hypersaline ecosystems. Some Haloferax and Halobellus species exhibit a close evolutionary relationship. Genomic, phylogenetic (based on 16S rRNA gene sequence), and phylogenomic analysis were performed to evaluate the taxonomic positions of the genera Haloferax and Halobellus. Based on the results we propose to reclassify Halobellus ramosii as a later heterotypic synonym of Halobellus inordinatus; Haloferax lucentense and Haloferax alexandrinum as later heterotypic synonyms of Haloferax volcanii.

The Haloferacaceae are a family of extremely halophilic archaea with many species producing enzymes and products beneficial for industrial biotechnology. They are, however, relatively under-characterised with regards to genetics and gene products. This study aims to use existing sequence data to highlight genetic diversity, create pangenomes for three genera, and provide secondary metabolite and pathway analysis.

Article Synopsis
- * Cutoff values for distinguishing genera in this family were proposed, including AAI (72.1%), ANI (82.2%), and rpoB' gene similarity (90.7%).
- * Five newly isolated halophilic archaeal strains led to the identification of five new species in the genus Halobaculum, which were named Halobaculum lipolyticum, Halobaculum marinum, Halobaculum litoreum, Halobaculum halobium, and Halobaculum limi

Polar membrane lipids of an archaeal microorganism recently isolated from the natural salt lake Fuente de Piedra (Málaga, Spain) have been studied by means of TLC in combination with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The major phospholipids are the ether lipids phosphatidylglycerophosphate methyl ester and phosphatidylglycerosulfate, while phosphatidylglycerol is barely detectable; in addition the bisphosphatidylglycerol (archaeal cardiolipin) has been detected for the first time in a representative of the genus Halobellus. The structures of glycolipids, including a glycosyl-cardiolipin, have been elucidated by post source decay (PSD) mass spectrometry analysis.

Halophilic archaeal strain GX10(T) was isolated from the Gangxi marine solar saltern in China. Strain GX10(T) was observed to have pleomorphic cells that lysed in distilled water, stained Gram-negative and produced red-pigmented colonies. Strain GX10(T) was able to grow at 20-50 °C (optimum 37 °C), with 1.
