| haladaptatus litoreus sp. nov., an extremely halophilic archaeon from a marine solar saltern, and emended description of the genus haladaptatus. | two extremely halophilic archaea, strains ro1-28(t) and ro1-22, were isolated from a marine solar saltern in jiangsu, china. both strains required at least 0.05 m mg(2+) and 1.7 m nacl for growth. they were able to grow over a ph range of 6.0-8.5 and a temperature range of 25-55 degrees c, with optimal ph of 7.0 and optimal temperature of 37-40 degrees c. based on 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, strains ro1-28(t) and ro1-22 were closely related to haladaptatus paucihalophilus, the single specie ... | 2010 | 19666806 |
| halorussus rarus gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the family halobacteriaceae isolated from a marine solar saltern. | two halophilic archaeal strains tbn4(t) and tbn5 were isolated from taibei marine solar saltern in jiangsu, china. both strains showed light red-pigmented colonies and their cells were rod, motile and gram-stain-negative. they were able to grow at 25-50°c (optimum 37°c), at 1.4-4.3 m nacl (optimum 2.1 m nacl), at 0-1.0 m mgcl(2) (optimum 0.005 m mgcl(2)) and at ph 6.0-9.0 (optimum ph 7.0). their cells lyse in distilled water and minimal nacl concentration to prevent cell lysis is 8% (w/v). the m ... | 2010 | 20824294 |
