| salinisphaera shabanensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel, moderately halophilic bacterium from the brine-seawater interface of the shaban deep, red sea. | a novel, moderately halophilic bacterium was isolated from the brine-seawater interface of the shaban deep, northern red sea. a polyphasic approach was used for the taxonomic characterization of this isolate, with the phenotypic and phylogenetic data clearly showing the distinctiveness of this bacterium. cells of isolate e1l3a were gram-negative, monotrichous cocci that showed a remarkable physiological flexibility, as could be seen by the quite broad growth ranges for oxygen, temperature, nacl, ... | 2003 | 12579377 |
| salinisphaera hydrothermalis sp. nov., a mesophilic, halotolerant, facultatively autotrophic, thiosulfate-oxidizing gammaproteobacterium from deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and emended description of the genus salinisphaera. | a mesophilic, aerobic, facultatively chemolithoautotrophic bacterium, designated strain epr70(t), was isolated from hydrothermal fluids from diffuse-flow vents on the east pacific rise at degrees 50' n 10 degrees 17' w. cells were gram-negative rods, approximately 0.8-1.0 microm long and 0.3-0.5 microm wide. strain epr70(t) grew at 20-40 degrees c (optimum 30-35 degrees c), 1-25 % nacl (optimum 2.5 %) and ph 5.0-7.5 (optimum ph 5.5). the shortest generation time observed for strain epr70(t) was ... | 2009 | 19502342 |
| salinisphaera dokdonensis sp. nov., isolated from surface seawater. | a gram-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated cl-es53(t), was isolated from surface water of the east sea in korea. cells of strain cl-es53(t) were short rods and motile by means of monopolar flagella. strain cl-es53(t) grew with 4-21 % nacl (optimum 10 %) and at 5-40 degrees c (optimum 25 degrees c) and ph 5.2-8.8 (optimum ph 6.3-7.2). the major isoprenoid quinone was q-8. the major fatty acids were c(18 : 1)omega7c (42.0 %), c(18 : 1)omega9c (14.8 %) and c(14 : 0) (9.4 %). the genomi ... | 2010 | 19656943 |
| gene diversity of cyp153a and alkb alkane hydroxylases in oil-degrading bacteria isolated from the atlantic ocean. | alkane hydroxylases, including the integral-membrane non-haem iron monooxygenase (alkb) and cytochrome p450 cyp153 family, are key enzymes in bacterial alkane oxidation. although both genes have been detected in a number of bacteria and environments, knowledge about the diversity of these genes in marine alkane-degrading bacteria is still limited, especially in pelagic areas. in this report, 177 bacterial isolates, comprising 43 genera, were obtained from 18 oil-degrading consortia enriched from ... | 2010 | 20148932 |
| genome sequence of salinisphaera shabanensis, a gammaproteobacterium from the harsh, variable environment of the brine-seawater interface of the shaban deep in the red sea. | we present the genome of salinisphaera shabanensis, isolated from a brine-seawater interface and representing a new order within the gammaproteobacteria. its adaptations to physicochemical and nutrient availability fluctuations include six genes encoding heavy metal-translocating p-type atpases and multiple genes involved in iron uptake, siderophore production, and poly-+¦-hydroxybutyrate synthesis. | 2011 | 21705588 |
| salinisphaera halophila sp. nov., a novel moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from brine of a salt well in yunnan, china. | a gram-negative, moderately halophilic, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated yim 95161t, was isolated from brine of a salt well in yunnan province of china, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. cells of strain yim 95161t were short rods, approximately 0.9-1.4 µm in length and 0.4-0.6 µm in width. strain yim 95161t grew at 15-40 °c (optimum 25-30 °c), 6-29 % nacl (optimum 14-19 %) and ph 5.0-8.0 (optimum ph 7.0). the predominant isoprenoid quinone was q-8. the major fatty acids (>10 % ... | 2011 | 22058321 |
| salinisphaera orenii sp. nov., isolated from a solar saltern. | a taxonomic study was performed on two isolates, designated strains mk-b5(t) and mk-b7, isolated from the sediment of a solar saltern pond in gomso bay, republic of korea. comparative 16s rrna gene sequence studies showed that strains mk-b5(t) and mk-b7 belong to the gammaproteobacteria and are most closely related to salinisphaera shabanensis e1l3a(t) (96.3 and 96.5 % 16s rrna gene sequence similarity, respectively), salinisphaera dokdonensis cl-es53(t) (95.6 and 95.6 %), and salinisphaera hydr ... | 2011 | 21984663 |
