A novel filamentous bacterium, designated NariEX(T), was isolated from soil collected from Chott Melghir salt lake, which is located in the south-east of Algeria. The strain was an aerobic, halotolerant, thermotolerant, Gram-positive bacterium that was able to grow in NaCl concentrations up to 21% (w/v), at 37-60 °C and at pH 5.0-9.5. The major fatty acids were iso- and anteiso-C(15:0). The DNA G+C content was 47.3 mol%. The major menaquinone was MK-7, but MK-6 and MK-8 were also present. The… CONTINUE READING
