Abstract excerpt
Two novel strains of halophilic archaea, DX253(T) and GY252, were isolated from Zodletone Spring, a low-salt, sulfide- and sulfur-rich spring in south-western Oklahoma, USA. The cells were cocci or coccobacilli and occurred singly or in pairs. The two strains grew in a wide range of salt concentrations (0.8-5.1 M) and required at least 5 mM Mg(2+) for growth. The pH range for growth was 5-7.5 and the temperature...
