Integrating genomic evidence for an updated taxonomy of the bacterial genus Spiribacter [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe genus Spiribacter encompasses halophilic bacteria widely distributed in hypersaline environments worldwide. Despite their ecological significance, initially isolating Spiribacter species under laboratory settings was challenging due to the lack of ...

The Structure of the Lipid A from the Halophilic Bacterium Spiribacter salinus M19-40T [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2018 The study of the adaptation mechanisms that allow microorganisms to live and proliferate in an extreme habitat is a growing research field. Directly exposed to the external environment, lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria are of great ...

Spiribacter halobius sp. nov., a novel halophilic Gammaproteobacterium with a relatively large genome [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Spiribacter is the most abundant bacterial genus in the intermediate-salinity zones of hypersaline environments. However, Spiribacter strains are extremely difficult to isolate in pure culture.

Highly integrated adaptive mechanisms in Spiribacter halalkaliphilus , a bacterium abundant in Chinese soda‐saline lakes [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2021 Summary Soda‐saline lakes are polyextreme environments inhabited by many haloalkaliphiles, including one of the most abundant Spiribacter species. However, its mechanisms of adaptation are not ecophysiologically characterized. Based on a large‐scale cultivation strategy, we obtained a representative isolate of this Spiribacter species whose relative ...

A glimpse of the prokaryotic diversity of the Large Aral Sea reveals novel extremophilic bacterial and archaeal groups [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 During the last five decades, the Aral Sea has gradually changed from a saline water body to a hypersaline lake. Microbial community inhabiting the Aral Sea has been through a succession and continuous adaptation during the last 50 years of increasing ...

Selective Pressure Influences Inter-Biome Dispersal in the Assembly of Saline Microbial Communities. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolMicrobial communities in terrestrial, aquatic and aerial biomes are distinct but interconnected. As salinity increases, the contribution of inter‐biome dispersal to local planktonic communities decreases, shifting from generalists to specialists. ABSTRACT Selection and dispersal are the primary processes influencing community assembly at both global ...
