Immunologic distinctiveness of archaebacteria that grow in high salt

J Bacteriol. 1986 Oct;168(1):425-7. doi: 10.1128/jb.168.1.425-427.1986.

Abstract

The antigenic fingerprints of eight halophilic archaebacteria representing the groups recently outlined by molecular and chemical analyses were determined with calibrated antibody probes. Comparison with the antigenic fingerprints of methanogens encompassing all described families and most genera demonstrated that these two archaebacterial groups are themselves antigenically coherent but immunologically distinct.
