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 ...

Spatio-Temporal Variation of the Bacterial Communities along a Salinity Gradient within a Thalassohaline Environment (Saline di Tarquinia Salterns, Italy) [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 The “Saline di Tarquinia” salterns have been scarcely investigated regarding their microbiological aspects. This work studied the structure and composition of their bacterial communities along the salinity gradient (from the nearby sea through different ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Draft Genome of Spiribacter salinus M19-40, an Abundant Gammaproteobacterium in Aquatic Hypersaline Environments. [PDF]
Genome Announcements, 2013 We have previously used a de novo metagenomic assembly approach to describe the presence of an abundant gammaproteobacterium comprising nearly 15% of the microbial community in an intermediate salinity solar saltern pond. We have obtained this microbe in
