| purification and characterization of an extremely halophilic acetoacetyl-coa thiolase from a newly isolated halobacterium strain zp-6. | the extremely halophilic archaeon zp-6 was isolated from ai-ding salt lake in xinjiang uighur autonomous region of the people's republic of china. based on its physiological properties, 16s rdna sequence, and dna-dna homology with known haloarchaea, the isolate was tentatively identified as a halobacterium sp. an acetoacetyl-coa thiolase was purified and characterized from this organism. the native enzyme has a molecular mass of 80 +/- 8 kda and consists of two identical subunits of 43 +/- 2 kda ... | 2002 | 12013440 |
| [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 |
