| halobacillus hunanensis sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from a subterranean brine. | a moderately halophilic, gram-positive, catalase- and oxidase-positive, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterium, designated strain jsm 071077(t), was isolated from a subterranean brine sample collected from a salt mine in hunan province, china. cells were motile by means of peritrichous flagella and formed ellipsoidal endospores lying in subterminal swollen sporangia. strain jsm 071077(t) was able to grow with 2-25% (w/v) total salts (optimum, 5-10%), at ph 6.0-10.0 (optimum, ph 7.5) and 10-40 degrees c ( ... | 2009 | 19618289 |
