| pontibacillus chungwhensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a moderately halophilic gram-positive bacterium from a solar saltern in korea. | three moderately halophilic, spore-forming strains, designated bh030062t, bh030049 and bh030080, were isolated from a solar saltern in korea. phylogenetic analyses and comparative 16s rrna gene sequence studies revealed that the isolates represent a novel distinct monophyletic lineage within the phyletic group classically defined as the genus bacillus and are most closely related to members of the genera gracilibacillus (93.7-95.1 % similarity), virgibacillus (93.5-94.8 %), halobacillus (94.8-95 ... | 2005 | 15653871 |
| purification and characterization of serine proteinase from a halophilic bacterium, filobacillus sp. rf2-5. | in order to find a unique proteinase, proteinase-producing bacteria were screened from fish sauce in thailand. an isolated moderately halophilic bacterium was classified and named filobacillus sp. rf2-5. the molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 49 kda. the enzyme showed the highest activity at 60 degrees c and ph 10-11 under 10% nacl, and was highly stable in the presence of about 25% nacl. the activity was strongly inhibited by phenylmethane sulfonyl fluoride (pmsf), chym ... | 2005 | 15665465 |
| reclassification of bacillus haloalkaliphilus fritze 1996 as alkalibacillus haloalkaliphilus gen. nov., comb. nov. and the description of alkalibacillus salilacus sp. nov., a novel halophilic bacterium isolated from a salt lake in china. | a spore-forming, halophilic bacterium, designated strain bh163(t), was isolated from a salt lake in china. cells were motile, strictly aerobic rods that contained type a1gamma peptidoglycan with meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. the isolate showed gram- and catalase-positive reactions and formed a terminal endospore with a swollen sporangium. the major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-c(15:0), iso-c(15:0), anteiso-c(17:0) and iso-c(16:0). the genomic dna g+c content of th ... | 2005 | 16166684 |
| endospores of halophilic bacteria of the family bacillaceae isolated from non-saline japanese soil may be transported by kosa event (asian dust storm). | generally, extremophiles have been deemed to survive in the extreme environments to which they had adapted to grow. recently many extremophiles have been isolated from places where they are not expected to grow. alkaliphilic microorganisms have been isolated from acidic soil samples with ph 4.0, and thermophiles have been isolated from samples of low temperature. numerous moderately halophilic microorganisms, defined as those that grow optimally in media containing 0.5-2.5 molar (3-15%) nacl, an ... | 2005 | 16242015 |
| piscibacillus salipiscarius gen. nov., sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium from fermented fish (pla-ra) in thailand. | a gram-positive, spore-forming and moderately halophilic bacterium was isolated from fermented fish (pla-ra) in thailand. cells of the isolate, rbu1-1(t), were strictly aerobic, motile rods and contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. menaquinone with seven isoprene units (mk-7) was the predominant quinone. this isolate grew at 15-48 degrees c, ph 5-9 and in 2-30 % nacl (optimally 10-20 %). the major cellular fatty acids were iso-c(15 : 0) and anteiso-c(15 : 0). polar l ... | 2007 | 17625167 |
| aquisalibacillus elongatus gen. nov., sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium of the family bacillaceae isolated from a saline lake. | a novel moderately halophilic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from a saline lake, lake shangmatala, in the inner mongolia autonomous region, china. this bacterium, designated sh4st, was strictly aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. it grew at salinities of 3-20 % (w/v) nacl, with an optimum at 10 % (w/v) nacl. the cell-wall peptidoglycan was of the a4beta type, based on l-orn-d-asp, and the major quinone was a menaquinone with seven isoprene units (mk-7). the major fat ... | 2008 | 18676481 |
