Comparative Phylogenetic Analyses of Halomonas variabilis and Related Organisms Based on 16S rRNA, gyrB and ectBC Gene Sequences

Phylogenetic diversity and vertical distribution of a halobacterial community in the atmosphere of an Asian dust (KOSA) source region, Dunhuang City

“…Halobacteria, such as halotolerant bacteria and halophilic bacteria, are known to tolerate conditions of high salinity and are resistant to stresses, such as high pH, extreme temperature, or desiccation (Rothschild and Mancinelli 2001;Russell 1989). As such, the halobacterial community represents a good model system for studying atmospheric travel of bioaerosols across hundreds to thousands of kilometers at low to extreme altitudes (Echigo et al 2005;Okamoto et al 2004).…”

Spoilage and Pathogenic Bacteria Associated with Spoilage Process of Sichuan Pickle during the Spontaneous Fermentation

“…The genus Arcobacter has become increasingly important concern in recent years because its members have been considered emergent enteropathogens and potential zoonotic agents (Collado et al, 2011). H. variabilis could be isolated from the various aquatic and terrestrial euryhaline habitats (Okamoto et al, 2004 (Stevens et al, 2013). Lac.…”

Japan Astrobiology Mars Project (JAMP): Search for Microbes on The Mars Surface with Special Interest in Methane-Oxidizing Bacteria

“…Some halophilic (salt-loving) microorganisms such as Halomonas species maintain activity over the entire range of salinity (e.g., Naganuma et al, 1993;Okamoto et al, 2004). It is likely that massive evaporation of liquid water occurred on Mars in the past, leaving massive evaporites that are salt-saturated.…”
