Abstract excerpt
A novel halophilic archaeon, NG4(T), was isolated from Jilantai salt lake in Inner Mongolia, China. The taxonomy of strain NG4(T) was studied by polyphasic methods. Strain NG4(T) grew at pH 5.5-8.5 and at a temperature of 22-55 degrees C. It was chemo-organotrophic, aerobic and required concentrations of 2.7-5.2 M NaCl and 0.05-0.3 M Mg(2+) for growth. Cells were Gram-negative, slender rods. Colonies on agar...
