| [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 |
| halobacterium jilantaiense sp. nov., a halophilic archaeon isolated from a saline lake in inner mongolia, china. | a novel halophilic archaeon, ng4(t), was isolated from jilantai salt lake in inner mongolia, china. the taxonomy of strain ng4(t) was studied by polyphasic methods. strain ng4(t) grew at ph 5.5-8.5 and at a temperature of 22-55 degrees c. it was chemo-organotrophic, aerobic and required concentrations of 2.7-5.2 m nacl and 0.05-0.3 m mg(2+) for growth. cells were gram-negative, slender rods. colonies on agar plates containing 25 % (w/v) total salts were red, elevated and round. according to 16s ... | 2006 | 17012561 |
