Article Description

Three strains of Gram-negative, aerobic, neutrophilic and halophilic bacteria were isolated from samples of a salt lake on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and a subterranean saline well in the Si-Chuan Basin of China. These isolates, designated AJ275, AJ282 and ZG16, were investigated using a polyphasic approach. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolates could be affiliated to the genus Halomonas. Genomic DNA G+C contents were 65.9 mol% for AJ275, 56.7 mol% for AJ282 and 57.6 mol% for ZG16. The results of DNA-DNA hybridizations, fatty acid analysis and physiological and biochemical tests allowed the isolates to be differentiated genotypically and phenotypically from closely related species. It is proposed that strains AJ275 (=CGMCC 1.6493 =JCM 14606 =LMG 23976), AJ282 (=CGMCC 1.6494 =JCM 14607 =LMG 23978) and ZG16 (=CGMCC 1.6495 =JCM 14608 =LMG 23977) represent the type strains of three novel species in the genus Halomonas: Halomonas saccharevitans sp. nov., Halomonas arcis sp. nov. and Halomonas subterranea sp. nov., respectively. © 2007 IUMS.
