| halomonas avicenniae sp. nov., isolated from the salty leaves of the black mangrove avicennia germinans in puerto rico. | a gram-negative, short rod to oval-shaped bacterium (strain mw2a(t)) was isolated from the surface of leaves of the black mangrove avicennia germinans and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. strain mw2a(t) was moderately halophilic, growing at nacl concentrations in the range 0-25 % (w/v) with optimum growth at 5 % (w/v) nacl. growth occurred at 12-40 degrees c (optimum, 30-35 degrees c) and at ph 5.0-9.0 (optimum, ph 7.0-8.0). strain mw2a(t) was strictly aerobic. phylogenetic analysis ba ... | 2007 | 17473230 |
| description of kushneria aurantia gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family halomonadaceae, and a proposal for reclassification of halomonas marisflavi as kushneria marisflavi comb. nov., of halomonas indalinina as kushneria indalinina comb. nov. and of halomonas avicenniae as kushneria avicenniae comb. nov. | an aerobic, moderately halophilic, gram-negative, motile, non-sporulating rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain a10(t), was isolated from the surface of leaves of the black mangrove avicennia germinans and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. strain a10(t) was able to grow at nacl concentrations in the range 5-17.5 % (w/v) with optimum growth at 10 % (w/v) nacl. growth occurred at temperatures of 20-40 degrees c (optimal growth at 37 degrees c) and ph 5.5-8.5 (optimal growth at ph 7. ... | 2009 | 19196785 |
