| natronorubrum aibiense sp. nov., an extremely halophilic archaeon isolated from aibi salt lake in xin-jiang, china, and emended description of the genus natronorubrum. | an extremely halophilic archaeon (strain 7-3(t)) was isolated from aibi salt lake in xin-jiang, china. it formed small (<1.0 mm), red, elevated colonies on salt-milk agar medium. strain 7-3(t) was able to grow at ph 6.5-9.5 (optimum ph 8.0) and at 20-50 degrees c (optimum 45 degrees c). analysis of its 16s rrna gene sequence indicated that strain 7-3(t) was phylogenetically related to members of the genus natronorubrum, with sequence similarities of 97.0 % to natronorubrum bangense a33(t) and 95 ... | 2006 | 16825622 |
| natronorubrum sulfidifaciens sp. nov., an extremely haloalkaliphilic archaeon isolated from aiding salt lake in xin-jiang, china. | an extremely haloalkaliphilic archaeon, strain ad2(t), was isolated from aiding salt lake in xin-jiang, china. strain ad2(t) required at least 12 % nacl for growth. mgcl(2) was not required. the isolate was able to grow over a ph range of 8.0-10.0 and temperature range of 20-55 degrees c, with optimal growth at ph 8.7-9.2 and 44-47 degrees c. the major polar lipids of strain ad2(t) were phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester; glycolipids were not detected. analysis ... | 2007 | 17392197 |
