“…In addition, the majority of the type strains of Halomonas species can utilize ethanol, inositol, L-isoleucine and L-lysine and they are susceptible to ampicillin and chloramphenicol (Mata et al, 2002). Due to the large number of species included in the genus Halomonas, differences in fatty acid contents depend on the specific species that is compared with strain AW-7 T .…”

“…In contrast to strain AW-7 T , species of the genus Halomonas produce pigments and many of them have extreme upper salt concentrations for growth (Mata et al, 2002).

“…Concerns about the taxonomy of the genus Halomonas should be expressed as there is a significant variability in phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular characteristics among species of the genus Halomonas. A study by Mata et al (2002) showed that none of 205 phenotypic and physiological characteristics tested were common for all type strains of species of the genus Halomonas. When compared with members of the genus Halomonas, strain AW-7 T showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities lower than 92.2 %.…”

Halotalea alkalilenta gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel osmotolerant and alkalitolerant bacterium from alkaline olive mill wastes, and emended description of the family Halomonadaceae Franzmann et al. 1989, emend. Dobson andFranzmann 1996 A novel Gram-negative, motile, nonsporulating, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from alkaline sludge-like wastes ('alpeorujo' or 'alperujo') of two-phase olive oil extraction is described. The strain, designated AW-7 T , is an obligate aerobe that is halotolerant (tolerating up to 15 % w/v NaCl), sugar-tolerant (tolerating up to 45 % and 60 % w/v (+)-D-glucose and maltose respectively; these are the highest concentrations tolerated by any known members of the Bacteria domain) and alkalitolerant (growing at a broad pH range of 5-11). Strain AW-7 T is chemo-organotrophic. Ubiquinone-9 was detected in the respiratory chain of strain AW-7 T . The major fatty acids present are C 18 : 1 v7c, C 16 : 0 , C 19 : 0 cyclo v8c, C 12 : 0 3-OH and C 16 : 1 v7c/iso-C 15 : 0 2-OH. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain AW-7 T showed almost equal phylogenetic distances from Zymobacter palmae (95.6 % similarity) and Carnimonas nigrificans (95.4 % similarity). In addition, low DNA-DNA relatedness values were found for strain AW-7 T against Carnimonas nigrificans CECT 4437 T (22.5-25.4 %) and Z. palmae DSM 10491 T (11.9-14.4 %). The DNA G+C content of strain AW-7 T is 64.4 mol%. Physiological and chemotaxonomic data further confirmed the differentiation of strain AW-7 T from the genera Zymobacter and Carnimonas. Thus, strain AW-7 T represents a novel bacterial genus within the family Halomonadaceae, for which the name Halotalea gen. nov. is proposed. Halotalea alkalilenta sp. nov. (type strain AW-7 T 5DSM 17697 T 5CECT 7134 T ) is proposed as the type species of the genus Halotalea gen. nov. A reassignment of the descriptive 16S rRNA signature characteristics of the family Halomonadaceae permitted the placement of the novel genus Halotalea into the family; in contrast, the genus Halovibrio possessed only 12 out of the 18 signature characteristics proposed, and hence it was excluded from the family Halomonadaceae.

“…The MH broth media with pH ,8.0 and pH 8.0-10.0 were prepared using Na 2 HPO 4 /NaH 2 PO 4 and Tris/HCl buffers, respectively, and their pH was adjusted if necessary after sterilization (121 8C, 15 min). Growth at various salt concentrations was determined in MH broth with different MH sea-salt [in % (w/v); NaCl 80.72, MgCl 2 6.55, MgSO 4 10.00, CaCl 2 0.35, KCl 2.07, NaHCO 3 0.07, NaBr 0.24] concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 22.5, 25 and 30 % (w/v) (Mata et al, 2002).

Gas hydrates play a significant role in the global carbon cycle and climate change because methane, a greenhouse gas, can be released from the dissociation of gas hydrate. Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is an important process that consumes more than 90% of the methane released into the hydrosphere and atmosphere. In this study, the microbial community associated with the methane gas hydrate sediment in the Ulleung basin, East Sea of Korea (UBGH) was analyzed by phylogenetic analysis of the mcrA and 16S rRNA gene libraries. A vertical stratification of the dominating anaerobic methane oxidizer (ANME)-1 group was observed at the surface and the sulfate methane transition zone (SMTZ). The ANME-2c group was found to be dominant in the high methane layer. The archaea of marine benthic group B, which is commonly observed in the AOM region, accounted for more than 50% of the identifications in all sediments. Nitrate reducing bacteria were predominant at SMTZ (Halomonas: 56.5%) and high methane layer (Achromobacter: 52.6%), while sulfate reducing bacteria were not found in UBGH sediments. These results suggest that the AOM process may be carried out by a syntrophic consortium of ANME and nitrate reducing bacteria in the gas hydrates of the Ulleung Basin of the East Sea.
