Halorubrum lacusprofundi

Halorubrum lacusprofundi is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Halorubrum lacusprofundi rather than just read about it. In short: Halorubrum lacusprofundi is a rod-shaped, halophilic Archaeon in the family of Halorubraceae. It was first isolated from Deep Lake in Antarctica in the 1980s.

Key takeaways

Halorubrum lacusprofundi belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Halorubrum lacusprofundi to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Halorubrum lacusprofundi from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Halorubrum lacusprofundi is a rod-shaped, halophilic Archaeon in the family of Halorubraceae. It was first isolated from Deep Lake in Antarctica in the 1980s.

Genome Several strains of H. lacusprofundi have been discovered. The genome sequencing of the strain ACAM 32 was completed in 2008. The organism's genome consists of two circular chromosomes and a single circular plasmid. Chromosome I contains 2,735,295 base pairs encoding 2,801 genes and chromosome II contains 525,943 base pairs encoding 522 genes. The single plasmid contains 431,338 base pairs encoding 402 genes. At least one strain of H. lacusprofundi (R1S1) contains a plasmid (pR1SE) that enables horizontal gene transfer, which takes place via a mechanism that uses vesicle-enclosed virus-like particles.

Research Its β-galactosidase enzyme has been extensively studied to understand how proteins function in low-temperature, high-saline environments.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Halorubrum lacusprofundi

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Halorubrum lacusprofundi claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Halorubrum lacusprofundi before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Halorubrum lacusprofundi ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Halorubrum lacusprofundi

In research: Halorubrum lacusprofundi appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Halorubrum lacusprofundi in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Halorubrum lacusprofundi is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Archaea stubs, Methanobacteriati, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Halorubrum lacusprofundi outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
