A moderately halophilic, Gram-negative bacterium, designated strain BH843(T), was isolated from a solar saltern in Korea and subjected to a taxonomic analysis. Strain BH843(T) grew at salinities of 1-14 % (w/v) NaCl and at temperatures of 10-40 degrees C. The cells were motile cocci or short rods with single flagella and contained C(16 : 0), C(19 : 0) cyclo omega8c and C(17 : 0) cyclo as the ma...

Halomonas zhanjiangensis Chen et al. 2009 is a member of the genus Halomonas, family Halomonadaceae, class Gammaproteobacteria. Representatives of the genus Halomonas are a group of halophilic bacteria often isolated from salty environments. The type strain H. zhanjiangensis JSM 078169(T) was isolated from a sea urchin (Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus) collected from the South China Sea. The genome ...

A series of erythrose, ribose, and substituted pyrrolidine containing 2,4-thiazolidinediones were synthesized. Among them, thirteen unsaturated thiazolidinediones, six saturated thiazolidinediones and two unsaturated malonates were evaluated for their ability to enhance glucose utilization in cultured L6 myocytes. On the basis of the in vitro activity, 5-[4-[2-(1-benzyl-3,4-bis-benzyloxypyrroli...

We have made a detailed phenotypic characterisation of the type strains of 21 species within the genus Halomonas and have also studied any possible intraspecific variation of strains within H. eurihalina, H. halophila, H. maura and H. salina. We used 234 morphological, physiological, biochemical, nutritional and antimicrobial susceptibility tests. Nutritional assays were carried out using both ...
