Abstract excerpt
A moderately halophilic and alkalitolerant bacterium, designated strain HN30(T), was isolated from garden soil in Japan. Cells of strain HN30(T) were motile, endospore-forming, aerobic, rod-shaped and gram-positive, and contained A1γ meso-diaminopimelic acid-type murein. Growth occurred in 7-23 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 10-15 %, w/v), at pH 6.5-10.0 (optimum, pH 8.0-8.5) and at 20-40 °C (optimum, 30 °C). The...
