Question

Which gene is responsible to resisy high salt concentration in halophiles?

Answer 1

The comparative genomic and proteomic analysis showed distinct molecular signatures exist for environmental adaptation of halophiles. At the protein level, the halophilic species are characterized by low hydrophobicity, overrepresentation of acidic residues, underrepresentation of Cys, lower propensities for helix formation, and higher propensities for coil structure. The core of these proteins is less hydrophobic, such as DHFR, that was found to have narrower β-strands.

At the DNA level, the halophiles exhibit distinct dinucleotide and codon usage.

So there is no specific gene named for halophiles
