چکیده

Three strains of facultatively anaerobic thermotolerant and moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from two Jordanian hot spring locations. The novel Bacillus strains were short rods, Gram-positive, motile and spore formers. The strains were capable of anaerobic (but not aerobic) growth at 63C, moderately halophilic, able to grow at NaCl concentration range of 12 15 % and at temperatures range of 37 -63C. Moreover, the strains were resistant to aztreonam, bacitracin and oxacillin. The range of the guanine-plus-cytosine content of the strain's DNAs was 43 – 54 mol%. The three strains HAR7100, HAR720 and HAR200, differ phenotypically from each other in terms of antibiotic resistance, compositions of polar lipids, presence and absence of several enzyme activities such as amylase, protease alkaline phosphatase, G6PDH and 6PGDH. Moreover, the novel Bacillus strains were shown to differ genotypically by random amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprinting and 16S rDNA amplification patterns. Phenotypic and genotypic variations may support establishment of new strains of the same genus Paenibacillus. صخلملا ثلاث ةحولملل و ةرارحلل ةبحملا ةيئاوهلالا ايريتكبلا نم تارتع ب ةموسوملا ةطسوتملا HAR200 HAR720 HAR100 مت ندرلاا يف ةنخاسلا عيبانيلل نيعقوم نم اهلزع . هذه فصتت و يحلم طسو يف ومنت اهناب تارتعلا 12 15 % مويدوصلا ديرولآ نم ومنلا ىلع هردقلا اهلو ايئاوهلا ) ايئاوه سيلو ( هرارح تاجرد ىلع 37 63 اهلعافتو ةمثرجتمو ةآرحتم ةريصق تايصع يهو ؛ هيوئم مارغ ةغبص عم يباجيا . دعاوق ىوتحم نا هساردلا هذه تدجو ) نيناوجلا + نيسوتيسلا ( تارتعلا هذهل يوونلا ضماحلا يف حوارتي نيب ام 43 54 % تاميزنا بايغ وا دجاوت نا امآ زيليملاا زوآولج يميزناو هيولقلا زيتافسوفلاو زييتوربلاو 6 و تافسوف 6 تينوآولج وفسوف تاينهدلا نم اهاوتحمو نيجورديهلل نيعزانلا يد يوتحمل هيثارولا همصبلاو هيودلاا ضعبل اهتموقمو هيبطقلا . نا . يا . ةمصب ليلحتو يئاوشعلا 16 sDNA تارتعلا هذه نا تبثت لتخت هثلاثلا معدي امم ةيعونلاو ةينيجلا تافصلاب ايرذج افلاتخا ف سنجلا نم ةديدج تارتع اهنوآ Paenibacillus . © 2008 Jordan Journal of Biological Sciences.
