Halolamina pelagica gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the family Halobacteriaceae [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2011
Two extremely halophilic archaeal strains, TBN21T and TBN49, were isolated from the Taibei marine solar saltern near Lianyungang city, Jiangsu province, China. Cells of the two strains were pleomorphic and Gram-negative and colonies were red. Strains TBN21T and TBN49 were able to grow at 25–50 °C (optimum 37 °C), at 1.4–5.1 M NaCl (optimum 3.4–3.9 M ...

Distribution of Archaeal Communities along the Coast of the Gulf of Finland and Their Response to Oil Contamination

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The Baltic Sea is vulnerable to environmental changes. With the increasing shipping activities, the risk of oil spills remains high. Archaea are widely distributed in many environments.

Draft genome of Haloarcula rubripromontorii strain SL3, a novel halophilic archaeon isolated from the solar salterns of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

Genomics Data, 2016
The genus Haloarcula belongs to the family Halobacteriaceae which currently has 10 valid species. Here we report the draft genome sequence of strain SL3, a new species within this genus, isolated from the Solar Salterns of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.

Life at high salt concentrations, intracellular KCl concentrations, and acidic proteomes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Extremely halophilic microorganisms that accumulate KCl for osmotic balance (the Halobacteriaceae, Salinibacter) have a large excess of acidic amino acids in their proteins.

Characterization of Halorubrum sfaxense sp. nov., a New Halophilic Archaeon Isolated from the Solar Saltern of Sfax in Tunisia

International Journal of Microbiology, 2011
An extremely halophilic archaeon, strain ETD6, was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Sfax, Tunisia. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the isolate was phylogenetically related to species of the genus Halorubrum among the family ...

Phylogenetic relationships within the family Halobacteriaceae inferred from rpoB′ gene and protein sequences [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2007
In order to clarify the current phylogeny of the haloarchaea, particularly the closely related genera that have been difficult to sort out using 16S rRNA gene sequences, the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase subunit B′ gene (rpoB′) was used as a complementary molecular marker.

Growth Kinetics of Extremely Halophilic Archaea (Family Halobacteriaceae ) as Revealed by Arrhenius Plots [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2005
ABSTRACT Members of the family Halobacteriaceae in the domain Archaea are obligate extreme halophiles. They occupy a variety of hypersaline environments, and their cellular biochemistry functions in a nearly saturated salty milieu.

Revegetation on abandoned salt ponds relieves the seasonal fluctuation of soil microbiomes

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Salt pond restoration aims to recover the environmental damages that accumulated over the long history of salt production. Of the restoration strategies, phytoremediation that utilizes salt-tolerant plants and soil microorganisms to reduce the

Further refinement of the phylogeny of the Halobacteriaceae based on the full-length RNA polymerase subunit B′ (rpoB′) gene [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2010
A considerable number of species of theHalobacteriaceaepossess multiple copies of the 16S rRNA gene that exhibit more than 5 % divergence, complicating phylogenetic interpretations. Two additional problems have been pointed out: (i) the generaHaloterrigenaandNatrinemashow a very close relationship, with some species being shown to overlap in ...
