Haloplanus aerogenes MBLA

Description of Haloplanus aerogenes MBLA View in CoL 0255

Cells are Gram-stain-negative and coccus shpaed with 0.8 - 0.9 μm in diameter. Colonies are red, irregular, and flat after 7 days of incubation on DBCM2 at 37℃. Catalase is positive, but oxidase is negative. Growth occurs in the 25 - 50℃ (optimum, 37℃) at 10 - 25% NaCl (optimum, 15%) at pH 6.0 - 9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and lysed in distilled water, and growth occur without Mg 2+. D-Glucose, D-galactose, D-sucrose, lactose, D-mannose, D-trehalose, D-raffinose, D-mannitol, glycerol, starch fumarate, pyruvate, citrate, DL-malate, acetate, succinate, L-alanine, L-arginine, L-histidine, L-ornithine, L-asparagine, and L-glutamic acid are utilized as sole energy sources for growth, but D-fructose, D-maltose, D-xylose, L-rhamnose, D-sorbitol, DL-lactate, and glycine are not utilized. The NCBI accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OR646570. Strain MBLA0255 (= NIBRARC000510 487) was isolated from seawater near Dokdo island , Korea (37°14 ʹ 29.4 ʺ N 131°52 ʹ 00.9 ʺ E) GoogleMaps .
