Organic osmolytes in aerobic bacteria from mono lake, an alkaline, moderately hypersaline environment.
The identity and concentrations of intracellular organic solutes were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for two strains of aerobic, gram-negative bacteria isolated from Mono Lake, Calif., an alkaline, moderately hypersaline lake. Ectoine (1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid) was the major endogenous solute in both organisms. Concentrations of ectoine vari...
متن کاملChitinolytic bacteria from alkaline hypersaline Mono Lake, California, USA
Chitinolytic activity was detected in sediment and water-column samples from Mono Lake, California, USA, using fluorogenic analogues. In order to learn more about chitin degradation in Mono Lake, we analyzed the phylogenetic composition of bacterial assemblages in chitin-enrichment cultures and associated with Artemia monica exuvia. We also isolated chitinolytic bacteria from aerobic and anaero...
متن کاملBiology of moderately halophilic aerobic bacteria.
The moderately halophilic heterotrophic aerobic bacteria form a diverse group of microorganisms. The property of halophilism is widespread within the bacterial domain. Bacterial halophiles are abundant in environments such as salt lakes, saline soils, and salted food products. Most species keep their intracellular ionic concentrations at low levels while synthesizing or accumulating organic sol...
متن کاملPiscibacillus halophilus sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium from a hypersaline Iranian lake.
A Gram-positive, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain HS224(T), was isolated from the hypersaline lake Howz-Soltan in Iran. Cells of strain HS224(T) were rod-shaped, motile and produced oval endospores. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HS224(T) was affiliated to the genus Piscibacillus, exhibiting 98.5 % sequence similarity to the type stra...
متن کاملPhylogenetic diversity and activity of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from a hypersaline oil-polluted microbial mat.
The diversity and function of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria (AHB) in cyanobacterial mats have been largely overlooked. We used culture-dependent and molecular techniques to explore the species diversity, degradative capacities and functional guilds of AHB in the photic layer (2mm) of an oil-polluted microbial mat from Saudi Arabia. Enrichment isolation was carried out at different salinities (...
