| haloalkylamines | A class of drugs, including phenoxybenzamine and diabenamine, which binds alkylate alpha-adrenergic receptors so that they are irreversibly inactivated. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| haloanisone | 4'-fluoro-4-[4-(o-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]butyrophenone;an antianxiety agent. Synonym: haloanisone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haloarcula | A genus of halobacteriaceae distinguished from other genera in the family by the presence of specific derivatives of tgd-2 polar lipids. Haloarcula are found in neutral saline environments such as salt lakes, marine salterns, and saline soils. (12 Dec 1998) |
| haloarcula marismortui | A species of halophilic archaea distinguished by its production of acid from sugar. This species was previously called halobacterium marismortui. (12 Dec 1998) |
| halobacteria | Bacteria that live in conditions of high salinity. (18 Nov 1997) |
| halobacteriaceae | A family of extremely halophilic archaea found in environments with high salt concentrations, such as salt lakes, evaporated brines, or salted fish. Halobacteriaceae are either obligate aerobes or facultative anaerobes and are divided into six genera: haloarcula, halobacterium, halococcus, haloferax, natronobacterium, and natronococcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| halobacteriales | An order of extremely halophilic archaea, in the kingdom euryarchaeota. They occur ubiquitously in nature where the salt concentration is high, and are chemoorganotrophic, using amino acids or carbohydrates as a carbon source. (12 Dec 1998) |
| halobacterium | A genus of halobacteriaceae whose growth requires a high concentration of salt. Binary fission is by constriction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Halobacterium halobium | Photosynthetic (halophilic) bacterium that has patches of purple membrane containing the pigment bacteriorhodopsin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| halobacterium salinarium | A species of halophilic archaea found in salt lakes. Some strains form a purple membrane under anaerobic conditions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| halococcus | Halococcus is a genus of gram-negative, non-motile, spherical, red or orange bacteria which grows in very high concentrations of salt (NaCl) and can be found in salted fish and meats. Halococcus belongs to the family Halobacteriaceae. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Halococcus morrhuae | A species found in seawater brine, sea salt, and salt lakes; also found in association with red discoloration of salted fish. (05 Mar 2000) |
| halofenate | <chemical> An antihyperlipoproteinaemic agent and uricosuric agent. Pharmacological action: antilipaemic agents, uricosuric agents. Chemical name: Benzeneacetic acid, 4-chloro-alpha-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)-, 2-(acetylamino)ethyl ester (12 Dec 1998) |
| haloferax | A genus of extremely halophilic halobacteriaceae which are chemoheterotropic and strictly aerobic. They are found in neutral saline environments such as salt lakes (especially the dead sea) and marine salterns. (12 Dec 1998) |
| haloferax mediterranei | A species of halophilic archaea found in the mediterranean sea. It produces bacteriocins active against a range of other halobacteria. (12 Dec 1998) |
