Abstract excerpt
Novel halophilic, alkalithermophilic, Gram-type-positive bacterial strains were isolated from sediment of alkaline, hypersaline lakes of the Wadi An Natrun, Egypt. Cells of strain JW/NM-WN-LFT were rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and non-motile. Strain JW/NM-WN-LFT grew (at pH55 degrees C 9.5) between 35 and 56 degrees C, with an optimum at 53 degrees C. The pH55 degrees C range for growth was 8.3-10.6, with an...
