Halophilic anaerobic fermentative bacteria

Journal of Biotechnology, 2011
In hypersaline environments bacteria are exposed to a high osmotic pressure caused by the surrounding high salt concentrations. Halophilic microorganisms have specific strategies for balancing the osmotic pressure and surviving in these extreme conditions.

Abundance of integrons in halophilic bacteria

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 2022
Integrons are genetic platforms used for expressing open reading frames (ORFs) arranged in gene cassettes. Excision and integration of gene cassettes are controlled by their associated integron integrase (IntI). Using IntegronFinder software, we analyzed all complete halophilic genomes available in the HaloDom database, along with selected partial ...

Inactivation of extremely halophilic hide-damaging bacteria via low-level direct electric current

Journal of Electrostatics, 2006
The presence of proteolytic and lipolytic extremely halophilic bacteria on brine-cured hides reduces the value of the hide as a raw material for leather manufacturing.

Are extreme halophiles actually “bacteria”?

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1978
Comparative cataloging of the 16SrRNA of Halobacterium halobium indicates that the organism did not arise, as a halophilic adaptation, from some typical bacterium. Rather, H. halobium is a member of the Archaebacteria, an ancient group of organisms that are no more related to typical bacteria than they are to eucaryotes.

Diversity of extremely halophilic bacteria

Extremophiles, 1998
In this review, the history of the classification of the family Halobacteriaceae, the extremely halophilic aerobic Archaea, is reviewed with some emphasis on the recently described new genera Halobaculum, Halorubrum, Natrialba, Natronomonas, and "Haloterrigena." Speculation is made about the evolutionary relationship between members of the ...

A SYNTHETIC MEDIUM FOR EXTREMELY HALOPHILIC BACTERIA

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1965
A synthetic medium, made up of 15 amino acids, adenylic and uridylic acid, glycerol, asparagine or ammonium chloride, and various salts, has been developed for halophilic bacteria. Halobacterium cutirubrum and Sarcina litoralis grew as well in this medium as in a complex medium containing casein hydrolysate and yeast extract.

CAROTENOID PIGMENTS OF HALOPHILIC BACTERIA

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1960
The carotenoids of two yellow and four red halophilic bacteria were studied by chromatography on alumina. One yellow organism contained predominantly one pigment, or a group of closely related pigments similar to neurosporene, while the other contained the neurosporene-like pigments and appreciable amounts of an unknown pigment with absorption maxima ...

Production of canthaxanthin by extremely halophilic bacteria

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 1999
Soil samples from a salt farm were used as a source for the isolation of carotenoid-producing bacteria. The conditions for optimum growth and carotenoid production were established for the isolated bacteria. Carotenoids were analysed by spectrophotometry and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).

Taxonomy of Halophilic Bacteria

2020
This chapter discusses the taxonomy of halophilic bacteria and the things that need to be done. The reader is strongly advised to accept a polythetic view, which means that no single character or character group should be used as the ultimate decision maker.

Halophilic Acetogenic Bacteria

1994
As outlined in preceding chapters of this book, acetogenic bacteria have a specialized physiological potential for the conservation of energy via the reduction of CO2 to acetate. They also harbor diverse catabolic processes and are found in unusual habitats.
