Abstract excerpt
Two halophilic archaeal strains TBN4(T) and TBN5 were isolated from Taibei marine solar saltern in Jiangsu, China. Both strains showed light red-pigmented colonies and their cells were rod, motile and Gram-stain-negative. They were able to grow at 25-50°C (optimum 37°C), at 1.4-4.3 M NaCl (optimum 2.1 M NaCl), at 0-1.0 M MgCl(2) (optimum 0.005 M MgCl(2)) and at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum pH 7.0). Their cells lyse in...
