Abstract excerpt
Two isolates of non-alkaliphilic, extremely halophilic archaea, with very similar characteristics, were recovered from a marine solar saltern crystallizer. Cells were pleomorphic, motile and Gram-stain-negative and grew on a limited range of carbon sources, with pyruvate being the best substrate. Optimum growth occurred at 18-20 % (w/v) NaCl, pH 6.0-8.5 and 37-40 degrees C. Both isolates possessed typical...
