An extremely halophilic archaeon, Haladaptatus cibarius D43(T), was isolated from traditional Korean salt-rich fermented seafood. Strain D43(T) shows the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.7 %) with Haladaptatus litoreus RO1-28(T), is Gram-negative staining, motile, and extremely halophilic. Despite potential industrial applications of extremely halophilic archaea, their genome chara...

A novel, extremely halophilic archaeon, D43(T), was isolated from traditional salt-fermented seafood in Korea. The cells were Gram-negative-staining and motile. The strain grew at 15-50 degrees C, 10-30 % (w/v) NaCl and pH 6.0-8.0. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain D43(T) is affiliated with the family Halobacteriaceae in the domain Archaea and had 95.5...
