| psychroflexus tropicus sp. nov., an obligately halophilic cytophaga-flavobacterium-bacteroides group bacterium from an hawaiian hypersaline lake. | a gram-negative bacterium designated la1(t) was isolated from water collected in hypersaline lake laysan on laysan island in the northwestern hawaiian islands. cells occurred singly as fine rods to short filaments. growth in 50 % strength marine broth occurred optimally when the medium contained 7.5-10 % (w/v) nacl. the major fatty acids in la1(t) grown at 15 and 30 degrees c were 12-methyl tetradecanoic acid and 13-methyl tetradecanoic acid, respectively. the nucleotide sequence of the 16s rrna ... | 2004 | 15143045 |
