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

open access: closedApplied 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

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

open access: closedExtremophiles, 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 ...

Salinarubrum litoreum gen. nov., sp. nov.: a new member of the family Halobacteriaceae isolated from Chinese marine solar salterns

open access: closedAntonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2013
Three halophilic archaeal strains, XD46(T), YJ-63-S1 and ZS-1-H, were isolated from three Chinese marine solar salterns. All were observed to have pleomorphic cells that lysed in distilled water, stained Gram-negative and formed red-pigmented colonies. They were found to grow optimally at 37 °C, at pH 7.0 and in the presence of 2.6 M NaCl and 0.05 M Mg(

Halobacterium salinarum strain MMD047-A low-salt adapted member of the Halobacteriaceae?

open access: closedBiotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering, 2009
In a paper recently in Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering (vol. 14, pp. 67–75), Shanmughapriya and coworkers described a prokaryote (strain MMD047) isolated from a marine sponge, which they classified as a strain of Halobacterium salinarum.

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

open access: closedArchives 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.

Optimization of growth media for obtaining high-cell density cultures of halophilic archaea (family Halobacteriaceae) by response surface methodology

open access: closedBioresource Technology, 2009
Optimization of media components for the growth and biomass production of Halobacterium salinarum VKMM 013 was carried out using response surface methodology. A second order quadratic model was estimated and media components were determined based on quadratic regression equation generated by model. These were 6.35 g L(-1) of KCl, 9.70 g L(-1) of MgSO(4)

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

open access: closed, 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.

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

open access: closed, 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 ...

Culturable diversity of aerobic halophilic archaea (Fam. Halobacteriaceae) from hypersaline, meromictic Transylvanian lakes

Extremophiles, 2015
Perennially stratified salt lakes situated in the Transylvanian Basin (Central Romania) were surveyed for the diversity of culturable halophilic archaea (Fam. Halobacteriaceae). The physical and chemical characteristics of the waters indicated that all the investigated lakes were meromictic and neutral hypersaline.
