Abstract excerpt
A moderately halophilic, obligate alkaliphile (growth range pH 8-12), designated strain YN-1(T), was isolated from indigo balls obtained from Ibaraki, Japan. The cells of the isolate stained Gram-positive, and were aerobic, non-motile, sporulating rods which grew optimally at pH 9. The strain grew in 3-14% NaCl with optimum growth in 5% NaCl. It hydrolysed casein and Tweens 20, 40 and 60, but not gelatin, starch,...
