| 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 |
| phylogenetic relationships within the family halomonadaceae based on comparative 23s and 16s rrna gene sequence analysis. | a phylogenetic study of the family halomonadaceae was carried out based on complete 16s rrna and 23s rrna gene sequences. several 16s rrna genes of type strains were resequenced, and 28 new sequences of the 23s rrna gene were obtained. currently, the family includes nine genera (carnimonas, chromohalobacter, cobetia, halomonas, halotalea, kushneria, modicisalibacter, salinicola and zymobacter). these genera are phylogenetically coherent except halomonas, which is polyphyletic. this genus compris ... | 2010 | 19656941 |
| kushneria sinocarnis sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from a chinese traditional cured meat. | a gram-negative, aerobic, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain z35t, was isolated from a chinese traditional cured meat produced in wuhan. the isolate grew with 1-20% nacl (optimum 10%), at 4-42 degrees c (optimum 37 degrees c) and at ph 4.5-8.5 (optimum ph 7.0). cells of strain z35t were not motile and were rod or oval shaped. the genomic dna g+c content was 59.1 mol%. the isoprenoid quinones were q-9 (88.96%), q-8 (9.46%) and q-10 (1.58%). the major fatty acids were c19:0 cyclo o ... | 2010 | 19783616 |
| isolation and characterization of a phosphate-solubilizing halophilic bacterium kushneria sp. ycwa18 from daqiao saltern on the coast of yellow sea of china. | phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (psb) function in soil phosphorus cycle, increasing the bioavailability of soil phosphorus for plants. isolation and application of salt-tolerant or halophilic psb will facilitate the development of saline-alkali soil-based agriculture. a moderately halophilic bacterium was isolated from the sediment of daqiao saltern on the eastern coast of china, which also performs phosphate-solubilizing ability. the bacterium was assigned to genus kushneria according to its 16 ... | 2011 | 21716683 |
| biofilm formation in moderately halophilic bacteria is influenced by varying salinity levels. | bacteria in a biofilm have a co-dependent lifestyle resulting in a harmonized and complex coordination of the bacterial cells within an exopolysaccharide (eps) matrix. we hypothesized that biofilm formation and eps production in salt-tolerant bacteria are helpful for plant growth improvement in saline soil, but that they are influenced differently. to investigate this hypothesis, we tested the effect of different salinity levels on the biofilm formation of the bacterial strains paa6 (halomonas m ... | 2011 | 22144335 |
| An extended suite of genetic tools for use in bacteria of the halomonadaceae: an overview. | Halophilic gammaproteobacteria of the family Halomonadaceae (including the genera Aidingimonas, Carnimonas, Chromohalobacter, Cobetia, Halomonas, Halotalea, Kushneria, Modicisalibacter, Salinicola, and Zymobacter) have current and promising applications in biotechnology mainly as a source of compatible solutes (powerful stabilizers of biomolecules and cells, with exciting potentialities in biomedicine), salt-tolerant enzymes, biosurfactants, and extracellular polysaccharides, among other product ... | 2012 | 22160899 |
