| marinimicrobium haloxylanilyticum sp. nov., a new moderately halophilic, polysaccharide-degrading bacterium isolated from great salt lake, utah. | a new moderately halophilic, strictly aerobic, gram-negative bacterium, strain sx15(t), was isolated from hypersaline surface sediment of the southern arm of great salt lake (utah, usa). the strain grew on a number of carbohydrates and carbohydrate polymers such as xylan, starch, carboxymethyl cellulose and galactomannan. the strain grew at salinities ranging from 2 to 22% nacl (w/v). optimal growth occurred in the presence of 7-11% nacl (w/v) at a temperature of 35°c and a ph of 6.7-8.2. major ... | 2010 | 20574646 |
