RESUMO
Two extremely halophilic archaea, designated YIM 90917 and YIM 93656(T), were isolated from saline soils in Yunnan province and Lup nur region in Xinjiang province, western China, respectively. Colonies of the two strains were observed to be pink-pigmented. The cells were found to be Gram-stain negative, coccoid and non-motile. The organisms were found to be aerobic and could grow in an NaCl range of 6-35 % (optimum 18 %), temperatures ranging from 25 to 50 °C (optimum 37-42 °C), pH range from 6.0-8.5 (optimum pH 7.0-7.5) and Mg(2+) range from 0 to 1.5 M (optimum 0.5-1.0 M); Mg(2+) was not necessary for growth. Cells were not observed to lyse in distilled water. Strains YIM 90917 and YIM 93656(T) showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Haladaptatus cibarius JCM 15962(T) (97.6 and 97.9 %, respectively). In addition, the DNA-DNA hybridizations of strains YIM 90917 and YIM 93656(T) with type strains H. cibarius JCM 15962(T), Haladaptatus litoreus JCM 15771(T) and Haladaptatus paucihalophilus JCM 13897(T) were 37.2 and 38.2 %, 36.6 and 39.0 % and 27.9 and 27.7 %, respectively. The DNA G+C contents of strains YIM 90917 and YIM 93656(T) were determined to be 56.0 and 57.4 mol%. The major polar lipids of the two strains were identified as phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester, phosphatidylglycerol sulfate, sulfated mannosyl glucosyl diether and other four unidentified glycolipids. On the basis of physiological, chemotaxonomic data and phylogenetic analysis, the strains YIM 90917 and YIM 93656(T) can be classified as a novel species of the genus Haladaptatus, for which the name Haladaptatus pallidirubidus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 93656(T) (=JCM 17504(T) = CCTCC AB2010454(T)).

A moderate growing strain designated as MPKL 26(T) was isolated from a soil sample of Bidar Fort, Karnataka, India. The strain MPKL 26(T) was Gram positive, bent rod in shape. The optimum pH and temperature for growth was 7.0 and 30 °C, respectively. The 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain MPKL 26(T) was closely related to S. atrocyanea DSM 20127(T) (98.09%), S. flava CW 108(T) (98.04%), S. soli CW 59(T) (97.99%) and S. notoginsengisoli SYP-B575(T) (97.0%) and showed DNA-DNA hybridization relatedness (46.05±1.2, 33.56±2.55, 32.56±1.7 and 26.79±2.5, respectively, between these strains) less than the threshold value for the delineation of genomic species. The peptidoglycon type was A3α type with glycine, alanine, lysine and glutamic acid as the amino acids. The whole-cell sugars were fructose, ribose, mannose, glucose and galactose. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol along with three unknown polar lipids. The fatty acid profile contained C14:0, C16:0, iso-C14:0, iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0, iso-C17:0, anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0 and summed feature 4 (17:1 iso I/anteiso B). The predominant respiratory quinine was MK-9(H2) with MK-10(H2), MK-8(H2) and MK-8(H4) as minor respiratory quinines. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 68.8 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular characteristics, the strain MPKL 26(T) represents a novel species of the genus Sinomonas, for which the name Sinomonas mesophila sp. nov. is proposed with MPKL 26(T) as the type strain (=NCIM 5552(T)= JCM 30094(T)).
