Cover illustration: Interaction chemicals structure interactions in all environments. Here, a halophilic archaeon has been shown to produce a small peptide with antimicrobial properties, a halocin. Halarchaeum acidiphilum was isolated from Lut Desert, Iran. The new, 17 kDa halocin showed antagonistic activity against bacteria and archaea.
