Sensitivity of selected members of the family Halobacteriaceae to quinolone antimicrobial compounds

Archives of Microbiology, 1996
Many members of the Halobacteriaceae are inhibited by quinolone compounds, which inhibit type II DNA topoisomerase. Ciprofloxacin was the most potent inhibitor, followed by ofloxacin and norfloxacin. Ciprofloxacin concentration between 25 and 60 micrograms/ml caused 50% inhibition of the growth of most Haloferax and Haloarcula species.

The Family Halobacteriaceae

open access: yes, 1981
Sodium chloride, common salt, is a widely used agent in the protection of food and foodstuff against bacterial growth and spoilage. Some bacteria are, however, quite resistant to salt and are able to develop at very high, even saturating, salt concentrations.

Interspecific Interactions Among Members of Family Halobacteriaceae from Natural Solar Salterns

Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins, 2012
Solar salterns are crystallizer ponds with highly diverse extremophilic microbial flora living individually or in consortium. Twenty-four culturable haloarchaeal isolates were obtained from solar salterns of Goa, which were grouped under Halococcus, Haloferax, Haloarcula and Halorubrum.

“Candidatus Haloectosymbiotes riaformosensis” (Halobacteriaceae), an archaeal ectosymbiont of the hypersaline ciliate Platynematum salinarum

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 2014
The novel ciliate Platynematum salinarum (Scuticociliatia) was isolated only recently from a thalassohaline solar saltern pond (12%) in Portugal. Scanning electron microscopy showed numerous bacterial-shaped cells covering the complete surface of the ciliate.

Utilization of Banana Peel as a Novel Substrate for Biosurfactant Production by Halobacteriaceae archaeon AS65

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2014
In this study, biosurfactant-producing bacteria was evaluated for biosurfactant production by using banana peel as a sole carbon source. From the 71 strains screened, Halobacteriaceae archaeon AS65 produced the highest biosurfactant activity. The highest biosurfactant production (5.30 g/l) was obtained when the cells were grown on a minimal salt medium

Life at High Salt and Low Oxygen: How Do the Halobacteriaceae Cope with Low Oxygen Concentrations in Their Environment?

Cellular Origin and Life in Extreme Habitats, 2013
Halophilic Archaea of the family Halobacteriaceae generally lead an aerobic chemoheterotrophic life. As the solubility of oxygen in concentrated brines is very small, it can be expected that these organisms will often experience a limited availability of molecular oxygen.

Halorussus rarus gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the family Halobacteriaceae isolated from a marine solar saltern

Extremophiles, 2010
Two halophilic archaeal strains TBN4(T) and TBN5 were isolated from Taibei marine solar saltern in Jiangsu, China. Both strains showed light red-pigmented colonies and their cells were rod, motile and Gram-stain-negative. They were able to grow at 25-50°C (optimum 37°C), at 1.4-4.3 M NaCl (optimum 2.1 M NaCl), at 0-1.0 M MgCl(2) (optimum 0.005 M MgCl(2)

Salinarchaeum laminariae gen. nov., sp. nov.: a new member of the family Halobacteriaceae isolated from salted brown alga Laminaria

Extremophiles, 2011
Halophilic archaeal strains R26(T) and R22 were isolated from the brown alga Laminaria produced at Dalian, Liaoning Province, China. Cells from the two strains were pleomorphic rods and Gram negative, and colonies were red pigmented. Strains R26(T) and R22 were able to grow at 20-50°C (optimum 37°C) in 1.4-5.1 M NaCl (optimum 3.1-4.3 M) at pH 5.5-9.5 ...

Convergent Evolution in Extremely Halophilic Prokaryotes: A Comparison Between Salinibacter Ruber (Bacteria) and the Halobacteriaceae (Archaea)

2004
Salinibacter is an aerobic, red, extremely halophilic bacterium that was recently isolated from saltem crystallizer ponds in Spain. Phylogenetically, Salinibacter belongs to the Flavobacterium — Cytophaga — Bacteroides group. It is one of the most halophilic organisms belonging to the domain Bacteria, and it is unable to grow at salt concentrations ...
