| bacillus krulwichiae sp. nov., a halotolerant obligate alkaliphile that utilizes benzoate and m-hydroxybenzoate. | obligate alkaliphilic strains, am31d(t) and am11d, that utilize benzoate and m-hydroxybenzoate were isolated from soil obtained from tsukuba, ibaraki, japan. the isolates grew at ph 8-10, but not at neutral ph. they were gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, straight rods with peritrichous flagella and produced ellipsoidal spores. the isolates reduced nitrate to nitrite and grew in 0-14 % nacl, but not in higher concentrations. the major isoprenoid quinones were menaquinone-5, -6 and -7, and t ... | 2003 | 13130043 |
| bacillus alkalisediminis sp. nov., a novel alkaliphilic and moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from the sediment of extremely shallow soda ponds. | alkaliphilic strains characterized by optimal growth at ph 9.0 and 5 % (w/v) nacl designated k1-25(t) and h3-93 were isolated from extremely shallow soda ponds located in hungary. cells of both strains were gram-positive non motile straight rods and formed central, ellipsoidal endospores with swollen sporangia. the isolates were aerobic, catalase positive, oxidase negative and contained a peptidoglycan of type a1γ based on meso-diaminopimelic acid. in both strains menaquinone-7 (mk-7) was the pr ... | 2010 | 20833886 |
| bacillus okhensis sp. nov., a halotolerant and alkalitolerant bacterium from an indian saltpan. | a strictly aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium (0.6-0.8 x2-3 microm), designated strain kh10-101t, was isolated from a saltpan (22 degrees 15' n, 69 degrees 1' e) in the vicinity of port okha, india. the creamish pigmented colonies of strain kh10-101t were round, flat and translucent with irregular margins and a smooth surface. the strain possessed up to three subpolar flagella, and was motile by a corkscrew motion. the strain grew optimally at 37 degrees c (temperature growth range 25-40 degrees c) i ... | 2006 | 16627657 |
