Molecular Factors of Hypochlorite Tolerance in the Hypersaline Archaeon <em>Haloferax volcanii</em>

Halophilic archaea thrive in hypersaline conditions associated with desiccation, ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and redox active compounds, and thus are naturally tolerant to a variety of stresses. Here, we identified mutations that promote enhanced tolerance of halophilic archaea to redox-active comp...
