Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer production by two newly isolated extremely halophilic archaea: application of a novel corrosion-resistant bioreactor.
TL;DR: A novel corrosion-resistant bioreactor composed of polyetherether ketone (PEEK), tech glass and silicium nitrite ceramics was constructed and applied for the cultivation of two newly isolated, extremely halophilic archaea producing poly(γ-glutamic acid) (PGA), or poly(β-hydroxy butyric Acid) (PHB), respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfer of Natrialba asiatica B1T to Natrialba taiwanensis sp. nov. and description of Natrialba aegyptiaca sp. nov., a novel extremely halophilic, aerobic, non-pigmented member of the Archaea from Egypt that produces extracellular poly(glutamic acid).
TL;DR: A halophilic member of the Archaea, strain 40T, was isolated from Egypt (Aswan) as mentioned in this paper, which requires at least 1.6 M sodium chloride for growth and exhibits optimal growth between 37 and 42 degrees C. Determination of the entire 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed the highest similarity to the type strain of Natrialba asiatica (> 99%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a novel halophilic archaeon, Halobiforma haloterrestris gen. nov., sp. nov., and transfer of Natronobacterium nitratireducens to Halobiforma nitratireducens comb. nov.
TL;DR: Strain 135(T), a novel red-pigmented, aerobic, extremely halophilic member of the Archaea showing rod, coccus and slightly pleomorphic morphology, was isolated from hypersaline soil close to Aswan (Egypt) and should be placed in a new genus, Halobiforma gen. nov.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical and enzymological properties of the polyhydroxybutyrate synthase from the extremely halophilic archaeon strain 56.
TL;DR: The granule-associated PHB synthase was enzymologically characterized and the first description of an archaebacterial PHA synthase is described, indicating a covalent attachment to the PHB core.
Journal ArticleDOI
Halopiger aswanensis sp. nov., a polymer-producing and extremely halophilic archaeon isolated from hypersaline soil.
TL;DR: It is suggested that strain 56(T) represents a novel species of the genus Halobacteriaceae, for which the name Halopiger aswanensis sp.
