An extremely halophilic archaeon, strain IC35T was isolated from a mud sample of the Aran-Bidgol salt lake in Iran. The novel strain was cream pigmented, non-motile rod shaped and required at least 2.5 M NaCl but not MgCl2 ...

An extremely halophilic archaeon, strain DA50T, was isolated from a brine sample of Urmia lake,

a hypersaline environment in north-west Iran. Strain DA50T was orange-pigmented, motile,pleomorphic and required at ...

A new extremely halophilic archaeon designated as EA3T was isolated from a hypersaline lake in Iran. Characterization of this strain was achieved by following the minimal standards recommended by Oren et al., (1997) for ...

Strain EB21T was isolated from a brine sample from Aran-Bidgol salt lake, a saline playa in Iran. Strain EB21T was an orange–red-pigmented, motile rod and required at least 2 M NaCl but not MgCl2 for growth. Optimal growth ...

of extremely halophilic archaea suggest that strain DC30T represents a novel species in a new genus within the family Halobacteriaceae, for which the name Halopenitus persicus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Halopenitus persicus is DC30T...

Strain CC65T, a novel extremely halophilic archaeon, was isolated from a brine sample of a salt lake in Iran. The novel strain was light yellow pigmented, non-motile, pleomorphic and required at least 1.7 M NaCl and 0.02 ...

present. Two minor phospholipids were also observed. The only quinone present was MK-8(ΙΙ-H2). The physiological, biochemical and phylogenetic differences between strain EB27T and other previously described genera of extremely halophilic archaea suggest...

A novel, orange-pigmented, halophilic archaeon, strain DC8T, was isolated from Urmia salt lake in north-west Iran. The cells of strain DC8T were non-motile and pleomorphic, from small rods to triangular or disc shaped. The ...

milliliter as determined by DAPI (4\\', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) direct count. The proportion of Bacteria to Archaea in the community detectable by FISH was one to two....

RNA genes and 16S rRNA gene clone library analysis. Viable counts obtained (2.5-4 × 106 cells ml-1) were similar to total cell abundances in the lake determined by DAPI direct count (3-4×107 cells ml-1). The proportion of Bacteria to Archaea in the community...
