Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of Non-alkaliphilic Halobacteria Based on Numerical Taxonomy and Polar Lipid Composition, and Description of Haloarcula gen. nov. and Haloferax gen. nov.
Marina Torreblanca,Francisco Rodriguez-Valera,G. Juez,Antonio Ventosa,Masahiro Kamekura,Morris Kates +5 more
TL;DR: The results show the existence of at least three groups with the taxonomic level of genus Halobacterium, and propose the two new genera Haloarcula and Haloferax for the nomenclatural accomodation of the three groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Haloquadratum walsbyi gen. nov., sp. nov., the square haloarchaeon of Walsby, isolated from saltern crystallizers in Australia and Spain
David G. Burns,Peter H. Janssen,Takashi Itoh,Masahiro Kamekura,Zhuo Li,Grant J. Jensen,Francisco Rodriguez-Valera,Henk Bolhuis,Michael L. Dyall-Smith +8 more
TL;DR: The phenotypic characterization and phylogenetic data support the placement of isolates C23T and HBSQ001 in a novel species in a new genus within the Halobacteriaceae, for which the name Haloquadratum walsbyi is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natrinema versiforme sp. nov., an extremely halophilic archaeon from Aibi salt lake, Xinjiang, China
TL;DR: Comparative analysis of phenotypic properties and DNA-DNA hybridization between strain XF10T and the Natrinema species supported the conclusion that strain Xf10T is a novel species within the genus NatRinema.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further refinement of the phylogeny of the Halobacteriaceae based on the full-length RNA polymerase subunit B' (rpoB') gene.
TL;DR: The full sequence of the rpoB' gene may provide a supplementary tool for determining the phylogenetic position of new isolates, and Phylogenetic trees reconstructed from nucleotide sequences and deduced amino acid sequences by the maximum-likelihood method demonstrated that multiple species/strains in most genera individually formed cohesive clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of alkaliphilic halobacteria: proposals for transfer of Natronobacterium vacuolatum, Natronobacterium magadii, and Natronobacterium pharaonis to Halorubrum, Natrialba, and Natronomonas gen. nov., respectively, as Halorubrum vacuolatum comb. nov., Natrialba magadii comb. nov., and Natronomonas pharaonis comb. nov., respectively.
TL;DR: The sequences revealed that Natronobacterium pharaonis was phylogenetically distinct from the other members of the genus and also from other recognized genera of the family Halobacteriaceae, and changes are proposed to allow it to be transferred to Natronomonas gen. nov.
