Title
In Brief.
Abstract
The article offers news briefs related to microbiology. Walby's square-celled archaeon, which is considered to be the most hyperhalophilic microorganism, has been cultivated. A recent report had sequenced the genome of Mimivirus that infects amoebae. It could be noted that the virus contains genes of 7-63 clusters of orthologous groups of proteins. Deinococcus radiodurans endures when exposed to high levels of Ÿ-radiation which may result reactive oxygen species' production.
