چکیده

The water activity and pH ranges for growth of Glaciecola punicea (a psychrophile) were extended when this organism was grown at suboptimal rather than optimal temperatures. No such extension was observed for Gelidibacter sp. strain IC158 (a psychrotolerant bacterium) at analogous temperatures. Salinity and pH may be primary physicochemical parameters controlling bacterial community development in sea ice.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Psychrophilic Gliding Species Gelidibacter algens ACAM 536

A draft genome sequence was obtained from the type strain of Gelidibacter algens (ACAM 536). This species was isolated from sea-ice diatom assemblages collected from Ellis Fjord, Eastern Antarctica. The genome of ACAM 536 is a single circular chromosome with an estimated size of 4.50 Mbp.

Complete Genome Sequence of Glaciecola psychrophila Strain 170T

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Glaciecola psychrophila strain 170(T), a novel species of the genus Glaciecola, isolated from sea ice at high-latitude Arctic locations. The genome consists of a single chromosome (5,413,691 bp) and 5,363 genes. The genomics information will facilitate the study of the physiology, cold adaptation, and evolution of this genus.

Glaciecola mesophila sp. nov., a novel marine agar-digesting bacterium.

Alteromonas-like strains KMM 241(T) and KMM 642, isolated from marine invertebrate specimens, were investigated to clarify their taxonomic position. The novel isolates were aerobic, Gram-negative, motile, slightly halophilic and heterotrophic and hydrolysed polysaccharides. They did not hydrolyse urea, gelatin or casein and produced acid weakly from carbohydrates. The DNA G + C content ranged b...

Poles apart: biodiversity and biogeography of sea ice bacteria.

This review introduces the subjects of bacterial biodiversity and biogeography. Studies of biogeography are important for understanding biodiversity, the occurrence of threatened species, and the ecological role of free-living and symbiotic prokaryotes. A set of postulates is proposed for biogeography as a guide to determining whether prokaryotes are "cosmopolitan" (found in more than one geogr...

Screening and identification of biosurfactant producing marine bacteria from the Caspian Sea

Marine microorganisms have unique physiological properties and novel metabolites such as biosurfactant to live in extreme habitats (e.g. oil polluted environment). The aim of this study was to characterize some biosurfactant-producing bacteria collected from sediment and seawater samples from the Caspian Sea. These bacteria were isolated using enrichment method in ONR7a medium with crude oil as...
