| [biodiversity of halophilic archaea isolated from two salt lakes in xin-jiang region of china]. | there are more than 1000 salt lakes situated in northern and western regions of china and 790 of these salt lakes are in xinjiang uigur autonomous region and qinghai, tibet, inner mongolia. to better understand halophilic archaeal diversity of salt lakes in xinjiang, water and sediment samples were collected from two salt lakes, namely aibi salt lake and aiding salt lake, and the halophilic archaeal diversity of these samples was determined. totally eighty-six halophilic archeal strains, of whic ... | 2006 | 16736571 |
| natrinema ejinorense sp. nov., isolated from a saline lake in inner mongolia, china. | a gram-negative, non-motile, neutrophilic, pleomorphic and extremely halophilic archaeon, strain ej-57t, was isolated from saline lake ejinor in inner mongolia, china. strain ej-57t was able to grow at 25-50 degrees c, required at least 1.8 m nacl for growth (optimum at 3.4 m nacl) and grew over a ph range from 6.0 to 8.5 (optimum at ph 7.0). hypotonic treatment with less than 1.5 m nacl caused cell lysis. analysis of the almost complete 16s rrna gene sequence indicated that the isolate represen ... | 2006 | 17082411 |
