Isolation of moderately halophilic bacteria from Tunisian soil samples and transformation by electroporation using Escherichia coli-Halomonas sp. shuttle vector
Halophilic and salt-resistant bacteria were isolated from soil samples collected from Tunisia. Among them, strain 21a grew at NaCl concentration ranging 1-15%, optimum at 3%, showing that it is moderately halophilic bacteria. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain 21a was closely related to Halomonas aquamarina and H. venusta with sequence similarities of 9...
متن کاملHalomonas titanicae sp. nov., a halophilic bacterium isolated from the RMS Titanic.
A Gram-negative, heterotrophic, aerobic, non-endospore-forming, peritrichously flagellated and motile bacterial strain, designated BH1(T), was isolated from samples of rusticles, which are formed in part by a consortium of micro-organisms, collected from the RMS Titanic wreck site. The strain grew optimally at 30-37°C, pH 7.0-7.5 and in the presence of 2-8 % (w/v) NaCl. We carried out a polypha...
متن کاملHigh quality draft genome sequence of the slightly halophilic bacterium Halomonas zhanjiangensis type strain JSM 078169T (DSM 21076T) from a sea urchin in southern China
Halomonas zhanjiangensis Chen et al. 2009 is a member of the genus Halomonas, family Halomonadaceae, class Gammaproteobacteria. Representatives of the genus Halomonas are a group of halophilic bacteria often isolated from salty environments. The type strain H. zhanjiangensis JSM 078169(T) was isolated from a sea urchin (Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus) collected from the South China Sea. The genome ...
متن کاملHalomonas andesensis sp. nov., a moderate halophile isolated from the saline lake Laguna Colorada in Bolivia.
A moderately halophilic, motile, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, strain LC6(T), was isolated from a water sample of lake Laguna Colorada in the Bolivian Andes. The major cellular fatty acids were C(18 : 1)omega7c, iso-C(16 : 1)omega7c 2-OH, C(16 : 0) and C(12 : 0) 3-OH. The respiratory ubiquinones found in strain LC6(T) were Q-9 (97 %) and Q-8 (3 %). Strain LC6(T) was aerobic, heterotrophi...
