Halopelagius inordinatus gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the family Halobacteriaceae isolated from a marine solar saltern [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2010 Two extremely halophilic archaea, strains RO5-2Tand RO5-14, were isolated from Rudong marine solar saltern in Jiangsu, China. Cells of the two strains were pleomorphic, motile and stained Gram-negative. Colonies were red-pigmented. Strains RO5-2Tand RO5-14 were able to grow at 20–50 °C (optimum 37 °C), at 2.6–4.8 M NaCl (optimum 3.4–3.9 M NaCl), at 0 ...

Halorhabdus tiamatea: Proteogenomics and glycosidase activity measurements identify the first cultivated euryarchaeon from a deep-sea anoxic brine lake as potential polysaccharide degrader. [PDF]
, 2014 Euryarchaea from the genus Halorhabdus have been found in hypersaline habitats worldwide, yet are represented by only two isolates: Halorhabdus utahensis AX-2T from the shallow Great Salt Lake of Utah, and Halorhabdus tiamatea SARL4BT from the Shaban ...

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

Gene orders in the upstream of 16S rRNA genes divide genera of the family Halobacteriaceae into two groups [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2012 In many prokaryotic species, 16S rRNA genes are present in multiple copies, and their sequences in general do not differ significantly owing to concerted evolution. At the time of writing, the genusHaloarculaof the familyHalobacteriaceaecomprises nine species with validly published names, all of which possess two to four highly heterogeneous 16S rRNA ...

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 1359-1370, November 2019., 2019 Microbial communities from harsh environments hold great promise as sources of biotechnologically‐relevant strains and compounds. In the present work, we have characterized the microorganisms from the supralittoral and splash zone in three different rocky locations of the Western Mediterranean coast, a tough environment characterised by high levels of ...

Genotypic and Lipid Analyses of Strains From the Archaeal Genus Halorubrum Reveal Insights Into Their Taxonomy, Divergence, and Population Structure [PDF]
, 2018 To gain a better understanding of how divergence occurs, and how taxonomy can benefit from studying natural populations, we isolated and examined 25 closely related Halorubrum strains obtained from different hypersaline communities and compared them to ...

Metabolic Engineered Biocatalyst: A Solution for PLA Based Problems
International Journal of Biomaterials, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester. In 2010, PLA became the second highest consumed bioplastic in the world due to its wide application. Conventionally, PLA is produced by direct condensation of lactic acid monomer and ring opening polymerization of lactide, resulting in lower molecular weight and lesser strength of ...

Diversity and Niche of Archaea in Bioremediation
Archaea, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Bioremediation is the use of microorganisms for the degradation or removal of contaminants. Most bioremediation research has focused on processes performed by the domain Bacteria; however, Archaea are known to play important roles in many situations.

The Deep-Sea Microbial Community from the Amazonian Basin Associated with Oil Degradation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 One consequence of oil production is the possibility of unplanned accidental oil spills; therefore, it is important to evaluate the potential of indigenous microorganisms (both prokaryotes and eukaryotes) from different oceanic basins to degrade oil. The
