| halovivax asiaticus gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel extremely halophilic archaeon isolated from inner mongolia, china. | strain ej-46t, a novel pleomorphic, aerobic, extremely halophilic member of the archaea was isolated from sediment of the saline lake ejinor, in inner mongolia, china. this organism was neutrophilic and required at least 15 % (2.5 m) nacl for growth. mgcl2 was not required. the isolate was able to grow at ph 6.0-9.0. optimum growth occurred in media containing 20 % (3.4 m) nacl at ph 7.0-7.5. polar lipid analysis revealed the presence of phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol phosphate me ... | 2006 | 16585691 |
| halovivax ruber sp. nov., an extremely halophilic archaeon isolated from lake xilinhot, inner mongolia, china. | a gram-negative, pleomorphic, extremely halophilic archaeon, designated strain xh-70(t), was isolated from the saline lake xilinhot, in inner mongolia, china. it formed small (0.9-1.5 mm), red-pigmented, elevated colonies on agar medium. the strain required at least 2.5 m nacl and 5 mm mg(2+) for growth. the 16s rrna gene sequence analysis indicated that strain xh-70(t) belongs to the family halobacteriaceae, showing 99.5 % similarity to the type strain of halovivax asiaticus and 94.7 and 94.6 % ... | 2007 | 17473252 |
