Haloarcula amylolytica sp. nov., an extremely halophilic archaeon isolated from Aibi salt lake in Xin-Jiang, China Yang, Yong and Cui, Heng-Lin and Zhou, Pei-Jin and Liu, Shuang-Jiang,, 57, 103-106 (2007), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.64647-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A starch-hydrolysing and extremely halophilic archaeon (strain BD-3T), isolated from Aibi salt lake in Xin-Jiang, China, was characterized phenotypically and genotypically in order to determine its taxonomic status. On the basis of its polar lipid composition, nucleotide sequences of its 16S rRNA genes, genomic DNA G+C content (62.4 mol%) and growth characteristics, the organism could be assigned to the genus Haloarcula. Phenotypic differences and low DNA–DNA hybridization values to related Haloarcula species distinguished strain BD-3T from recognized Haloarcula species. It is therefore concluded that strain BD-3T represents a novel species, for which the name Haloarcula amylolytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BD-3T (=CGMCC 1.5335T=JCM 13557T)., language=, type=
