Abstract excerpt
Strains 1.15.5(T), 2.27.5, 5.24.4 and 6.14.5 were isolated from a solar saltern. They have flattened, rod-shaped cells and are aerobic, extremely halophilic members of the domain Archaea and family Halobacteriaceae. Cells stained Gram-negative and grew optimally in media around neutral pH and containing 20-24 % (w/v) (strains 1.15.5(T) and 2.27.5) or 22-24 % (w/v) (5.24.4 and 6.14.5) salts. Mg(2+) was not...
