| paracoccus saliphilus sp. nov., a halophilic bacterium isolated from a saline soil. | a gram-negative, coccoid to short rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain yim 90738t, was isolated from a salt lake in xinjiang province, north-west china, and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. the strain was non-motile and grew at ph 6.0-8.0 (optimal growth at ph 7.0), 10-55 degrees c (optimal growth at 37 degrees c) and salinities of 1-15% nacl (w/v, optimal growth at 8% nacl). ubiquinone 10 was detected as the major respiratory quinone. t ... | 2009 | 19567556 |
