| gracilibacillus saliphilus sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from a salt lake. | a novel gram-positive-staining, aerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain yim 91119(t), was isolated from ebinur lake in xinjiang province, north-west china. cells were motile, produced terminal endospores and grew at ph 6.0-8.0 (optimally at ph 7.0), 4-45 degrees c (optimally at 28-37 degrees c) and 1-22 % (w/v) nacl, (optimally at 10-15 %, w/v). comparative 16s rrna gene sequence analysis showed that strain yim 91119(t) belongs to the genus gracilibacillus, exhibiting the ... | 2009 | 19542126 |
