A new extremely halophilic archaeon designated as EB21T 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 describing novel taxa...

A novel Gram-staining-positive, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain A76T, was isolated from the brine sample of the hypersaline lake Aran-Bidgol in Iran. Cells were strictly aerobic, coccus-shaped, non-motile, non...

Prokaryotic diversity in Aran-Bidgol salt lake, a thalasohaline lake in Iran, was studied by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), cultivation techniques, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR-amplified ...

Production of ten hydrolytic enzymes was qualitatively studied on the haloarchaeal strains isolated from Aran-o-bidgol hypersaline lake in the central desert area of Iran. A total of 293 haloarchea strains were selected among 300 extremely...
