| halomonas saccharevitans sp. nov., halomonas arcis sp. nov. and halomonas subterranea sp. nov., halophilic bacteria isolated from hypersaline environments of china. | three strains of gram-negative, aerobic, neutrophilic and halophilic bacteria were isolated from samples of a salt lake on the qinghai-tibet plateau and a subterranean saline well in the si-chuan basin of china. these isolates, designated aj275(t), aj282(t) and zg16(t), were investigated using a polyphasic approach. based on 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, the isolates could be affiliated to the genus halomonas. genomic dna g+c contents were 65.9 mol% for aj275(t), 56.7 mol% for aj282(t) and 57 ... | 2007 | 17625205 |
| halomonas caseinilytica sp. nov., a halophilic bacterium isolated from a saline lake on the qinghai-tibet plateau, china. | a halophilic, gram-negative bacterial strain, designated aj261t, which was isolated from a soil sample from a salt lake on the qinghai-tibet plateau, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. the isolate grew optimally in the presence of 3-5 % nacl and used various carbohydrates as sole carbon and energy sources. the genomic dna g+c content was 63.0 mol%. the predominant fatty acids were c18 : 1omega7c, c16 : 0 and c12 : 0. a phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences indicated ... | 2008 | 18450724 |
| halomonas sediminis sp. nov., a new halophilic bacterium isolated from salt-lake sediment in china. | a novel gram-negative, slightly halophilic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, obligately aerobic bacterium, strain yim-c248(t), was isolated from a sediment sample collected from a salt-lake in the qaidam basin in qinghai, north-west china. cells were non-sporulating short rods, occurring singly or as doublets, motile with peritrichous flagella. growth occurred with 1-15% (w/v) nacl [optimum 2-4% (w/v) nacl], at ph 6.0-10.0 (optimum ph 7.5) and at 4-35 degrees c (optimum 25-30 degrees c). the majo ... | 2008 | 18825306 |
