Ultrastructure and morphogenesis of extremely halophilic neutrophilic (Halobacteriam distributum, Halococcus turkmenicus) and alkaliphilic (Natronobacterium pharaonis, Natronococcus occultus) archaeobacteria were studied. The H. distributum culture was rather polymorphous and produced cells of four types. Due to the irregular cell fission in different planes packages of various numbers of cells surrounded by a common capsule were formed. Resting forms (halocysts) with multilayer covers were… Expand

Candidatus “Jettenia moscovienalis” sp. nov., a new species of bacteria carrying out anaerobic ammonium oxidation
TLDR
A new species of bacteria oxidizing ammonium with nitrite under anoxic conditions was isolated from the activated sludge of a semi-industrial bioreactor treating digested sludge from the Kuryanovo wastewater treatment plant and classification as a newspecies of the candidate genus Jettenia was proposed. Expand
A novel bacterium carrying out anaerobic ammonium oxidation in a reactor for biological treatment of the filtrate of wastewater fermented sludge
TLDR
According to the results of 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the bacterium was assigned to a new genus and species within the phylum Planctomycetes, and the proposed name for the new bacterium is Candidatus Anammoximicrobium moscowii gen. nov. Expand

  • A. Wais

TLDR
The new isolates are identified as archaebacteria on the basis of their response to antibiotics, probable absence of peptidoglycan, and the presence of ether-linked lipids. Expand
Role of the Cell Surface of Methanosarcina mazei in Cell Aggregation
TLDR
Polymers extruded by M. mazei are likely quite adhesive in nature, accounting for its strong adherence to surfaces and hardiness compared with many other methanogens. Expand

TLDR
A complex life cycle involving the release of single cells is described with two variations for strains S6 and LYC and a limited cycle contains the only sarcinal morphotypes observed in M. barkeri. Expand
Natronobacterium gen. nov. and Natronococcus gen. nov., Two New Genera of Haloalkaliphilic Archaebacteria
TLDR
Polar lipid analyses, DNA /DNA homology and DNA/16S rRNA hybridisation studies show that this coccoid isolate is not closely related to the rod-shaped halo alkaliphiles, and that neither of these haloalkaliphile groups is closely relatedto the type strains of the `classical' halophilic archaebacterial species. Expand
Halobacterium mediterranei spec, nov., a New Carbohydrate-Utilizing Extreme Halophile.
TLDR
The extremely halophilic rod-shaped bacterium, strain R-4, has features very different from other known Halobacterium species, including a high excess of acidic over basic amino acids in its proteins, a cell wall lacking peptidoglycan, and ether-linked diphytanyl lipids. Expand
Control of Morphogenesis in Geodermatophilus: Ultrastructural Studies
Geodermatophilus grows in two major forms, a nonmotile irregularly shaped aggregate of coccoid cells (C-form) and a motile budding rod (R-form). Morphogenesis can be controlled by an unidentified… Expand
Halobacterium halobium. I. A thin-sectioning electron-microscopic study.
TLDR
Halobacterium halobium in the stationary growth phase and the isolated purple membrane have been studied by thin-sectioning methods and evidence of the bacteriorhodopsin molecules has been found in either the plasma membrane or isolated Purple membrane in thin sections. Expand
Ultrastructure of square bacteria from a brine pool in Southern Sinai
TLDR
Optical diffraction confirms the existence of both hexagonal and tetragonal arrangements of the cell wall subunits and also of different lattice constants and suggests a mixed population of bacteria. Expand
Electron Microscope Study of DNA-Containing Plasms
TLDR
The nucleoids of Escherichia coli are shown to be preserved as a fine-stranded fibrillar nucleoplasm by an OsO4 fixation under defined conditions: acetate-veronal buffer pH 6, presence of Ca++ and amino acids, stabilization with uranyl-acetate before dehydration. Expand
An Alkalophilic Red Halophilic Bacterium with a Low Magnesium Requirement from a Kenyan Soda Lake
TLDR
A Halobacterium species isolated from solar evaporation ponds and sodium sesquicarbonate deposits at Lake Magadi, Kenya, differs in being obligately alkalophilic with a pH optimum between 9.0 and 10.0, and in having a Mg2+ requirement for optimum growth. Expand
