| biology of moderately halophilic aerobic bacteria. | the moderately halophilic heterotrophic aerobic bacteria form a diverse group of microorganisms. the property of halophilism is widespread within the bacterial domain. bacterial halophiles are abundant in environments such as salt lakes, saline soils, and salted food products. most species keep their intracellular ionic concentrations at low levels while synthesizing or accumulating organic solutes to provide osmotic equilibrium of the cytoplasm with the surrounding medium. complex mechanisms of ... | 1998 | 9618450 |
| characterization of bacteria in ballast water using maldi-tof mass spectrometry. | to evaluate a rapid and cost-effective method for monitoring bacteria in ballast water, several marine bacterial isolates were characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof ms). since international maritime organization (imo) regulations are concerned with the unintended transportation of pathogenic bacteria through ballast water, emphasis was placed on detecting species of vibrio, enterococci and coliforms. seawater samples collected fr ... | 2012 | 22685576 |
| diverse antimicrobial interactions of halophilic archaea and bacteria extend over geographical distances and cross the domain barrier. | the significance of antimicrobial substances, halocins, produced by halophilic archaea and bacteria thriving in hypersaline environments is relatively unknown. it is suggested that their production might increase species diversity and give transient competitive advances to the producer strain. halocin production is considered to be common among halophilic archaea, but there is a lack of information about halocins produced by bacteria in highly saline environments. we studied the antimicrobial ac ... | 2013 | 23929527 |
