| halobacterium saccharovorum sp. nov., a carbohydrate-metabolizing, extremely halophilic bacterium. | the previously described extremely halophilic bacterium, strain m6, metabolizes a variety of carbohydrates with the production of acid. in addition, the organism produces nitrite (but no gas) from nitrate, is motile, and grows most rapidly at about 50 degrees c. these characteristics distinguish it from all previously described halophilic bacteria in the genus halobacterium. it is suggested that it be designated as a new species, halobacterium saccharovorum. | 1976 | 1260548 |
| isolation of halobacterium salinarum retrieved directly from halite brine inclusions. | halite crystals were selected from a 186 m subsurface core taken from the badwater salt pan, death valley, california to ascertain if halophilic archaea and their associated 16s rdna can survive over several tens of thousands of years. using a combined microscope microdrill/micropipette system, fluids from brine inclusions were aseptically extracted from primary, hopper texture, halite crystals from 8 and 85 metres below the surface (mbls). u-th disequilibrium dating indicates that these halite ... | 2003 | 14641589 |
