چکیده
Extreme halophilic bacteria were isolated from the ocean off the coast of Spain. All were gram-negative cocci. One isolate was compared to Halococcus sp. NCMB 757 and was found to have similar characteristics.

Isolation and biochemical characterization of Halophiles from Sahastradhara region, Dehradun, India
Halophiles are extremophile organisms that thrive in environments with very high concentrations of salt. Halophiles are categorized as slight, moderate or extreme, based on the extent of their halotolerance. Slight halophiles prefer 0.3 to 0.8 M (1.8 to 4.7% seawater is 0.6 M or 3.5%), moderate halophiles 0.8 to 3.4 M (4.7 to 20%), and extreme halophiles 3.4 to 5.1 M (20 to 30%) NaCl. Halophile...

Hypersaline environments are widely distributed on the earth s continent where they exist either as natural water bodies such as permanent saline lakes, ephemeral saltpans and salt marshes,or as artificial solar salterns (Litchfield and Gillevet; 2002). The microbial diversity of saline lakes has been studied primarily by focusing on the isolation and characterization of individual organisms wi...
متن کاملScreening and isolation of halophilic bacteria producing industrially important enzymes
Halophiles are excellent sources of enzymes that are not only salt stable but also can withstand and carry out reactions efficiently under extreme conditions. The aim of the study was to isolate and study the diversity among halophilic bacteria producing enzymes of industrial value. Screening of halophiles from various saline habitats of India led to isolation of 108 halophilic bacteria produci...
متن کاملMicrobial diversity of the brine-seawater interface of the Kebrit Deep, Red Sea, studied via 16S rRNA gene sequences and cultivation methods.
The brine-seawater interface of the Kebrit Deep, northern Red Sea, was investigated for the presence of microorganisms using phylogenetic analysis combined with cultivation methods. Under strictly anaerobic culture conditions, novel halophiles were isolated. The new rod-shaped isolates belong to the halophilic genus Halanaerobium and are the first representatives of the genus obtained from deep...
