| reclassification of salegentibacter catena ying et al. 2007 as salinimicrobium catena gen. nov., comb. nov. and description of salinimicrobium xinjiangense sp. nov., a halophilic bacterium isolated from xinjiang province in china. | a gram-negative, non-motile and moderately halophilic rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain bh206(t), was isolated from a saline lake of xinjiang province in china. the isolate showed catalase-positive and oxidase-negative reactions and did not reduce nitrate. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that the isolate was most closely related to [salegentibacter] catena hy1(t) with 95.8 % 16s rrna gene sequence similarity, and formed a tight phyletic group with [salegentiba ... | 2008 | 18218946 |
