Halomonas alkaliphila sp. nov., a novel halotolerant alkaliphilic bacterium isolated from a salt pool in Campania (Italy)

Effects of salinity on performance, extracellular polymeric substances and microbial community of an aerobic granular sequencing batch reactor

“…Arcobacter defluvii (band 1) could utilize nitrate as an electron acceptor [39] and was present in the granular sludge at 2-3% salinity. Both Halomonas hydrothermalis (band 28) and Halomonas alkaliphila (band 30) were found at 7-8% salinity, which could reduce nitrate under high-salt conditions [40,41]. Romano et al [41] reported that H. alkaliphila could utilize nitrate as an electron acceptor and grow optimally at 10% salinity.…”

Phylogenetic relationships within the family Halomonadaceae based on comparative 23S and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis

“…Many attempts have been made to determine differential features between species of these two groups, but neither chemotaxonomic nor more general phenotypic studies have permitted their separation. All species belonging to groups 1 and 2 have phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine as major polar lipids, ubiquinone 9 (except H. alkaliphila; Romano et al, 2006) as the respiratory quinone and C 16 : 0 and C 18 : 1 v7c (the latter not in H. alkaliphila; Romano et al, 2006) as fatty acids (Franzmann & Tindall, 1990). In addition, species of groups 1 and 2 are catalase-positive and are strictly aerobic or facultatively anaerobic, oxidase-positive or -negative and may or may not be capable of reducing nitrates (Mata et al, 2002;Arahal & Ventosa, 2006).…”

Halomonas zincidurans sp. nov., a heavy-metal-tolerant bacterium isolated from the deep-sea environment

“…net/index.html.). Most of these were isolated from saline environments, such as salterns Jeon et al, 2007; González-Domenech et al, 2008a;Arenas et al, 2009;Qu et al, 2011;Amjres et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2012), saline soils (Wang et al, 2007a(Wang et al, , b, 2008b González-Domenech et al, 2008bLi et al, 2008;Llamas et al, 2011;Zhao et al, 2012;Luque et al, 2012;Poli et al, 2013), a saline well (Xu et al, 2007), a salt pool (Romano et al, 2006), saline lakes (Poli et al, 2007;Romano et al, 2007; Wang et al, 2008a; Guan et al, 2010; Guzmán et al, 2010;Menes et al, 2011), a fermented seafood (Kim et al, 2010b); marine animals (Chen et al, 2009); or a renal dialysis machine (Kim et al, 2010a). Here, we present a polyphasic study describing a novel strain of a member of the genus Halomonas isolated from a sediment sample collected from the deep-sea environment.…”
