abstract

the objective of this study was to isolate halophilic bacteria with the ability to produce intracellular or extracellular l-asparaginase. a total number of 120 halophilic bacteria were isolated from 17 different saline habitats of iran including salt lakes, wetlands, brine springs and deserts. among these, 68 were able to grow in the presence of 1.5 m nacl and 52 demonstrated the ability to grow in the selection medium containing 3.5 m nacl. none of the isolates appeared to produce appreciable amounts of extracellular l-asparaginase. among the isolates that produced intracellular l-asparaginase, 5 moderate and 1 extreme halophiles were selected for further study based on their observed activity level. the moderately halophilic isolates were shown to belong to the genus halomonas while the extreme halophile was identified as a member of the genus aidingimonas.

Measurement of ACC-Deaminase Production in Halophilic, Alkalophilic and Haloalkalophilic Bacterial Isolates in Soil

Strains with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity can cause plant growth on stress condition. In the presence of bacteria with the ability of ACC deaminase production in the rhizosphere, it is possible to convert the ethylene precursor (ACC) to α-ketobutyrate  and ammonium, reducing the ethylene levels in host plants. In order to measure the power and level of A...
