Moderately Halophilic Bacteria

A moderately halophilic bacteria strain with cellulase (CMCase) activity, ZSCW-10, which can survive under wide range of NaCl concentration (1 %~15 %, w/v) and pH (4.5~9.0), was isolated from the sediment of intertidal zone located in the Xiangshan Island, Zhejiang Province. The strain was identified based on 16S rDNA sequence determination and phylogenetic analysis together with its morphological and physiological characterization. The results indicated that the 16S rDNA homologies were 97% between strain ZSCW-10 and some strains of Halomonas sp.. The phylogenetic tree was constructed with Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis version 5 (MEGA5), showed the closest relationship between strain ZSCW-10 and Halomonas venusta. Based on its physiological and biochemical properties, homology and phylogenetic analysis, strain ZSCW-10 was identified as a subspecies of Halomonas sp.. The optimum culture conditions were: NaCl 6.0%, 32°C, pH 7.5.

Moderately Halophilic Bacteria

Two Gram-positive, rod-shaped, moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from a deep-sea carbonate rock at a methane cold seep in Kuroshima Knoll, Japan. These bacteria, strains IS-Hb4T and IS-Hb7T, were spore-forming and non-motile. They were able to grow at temperatures as low as 9 °C and hydrostatic pressures up to 30 MPa. Based on high sequence similarity of their 16S rRNA genes to those of type strains of the genus Halobacillus, from 96.4 % (strain IS-Hb7T to Halobacillus halophilus NCIMB 9251T) to 99.4 % (strain IS-Hb4T to Halobacillus dabanensis D-8T), the strains were shown to belong to this genus. DNA–DNA relatedness values of 49.5 % and 1.0–33.0 %, respectively, were determined between strains IS-Hb4T and IS-Hb7T and between these strains and other Halobacillus type strains. Both strains showed the major menaquinone MK7 and l-orn–d-Asp cell-wall peptidoglycan type. Straight-chain C16 : 0, unsaturated C16 : 1 ω7c alcohol and C18 : 1 ω7c and cyclopropane C19 : 0 cyc fatty acids were predominant in both strains. The DNA G+C contents of IS-Hb4T and IS-Hb7T were respectively 43.3 and 42.1 mol%. Physiological and biochemical analyses combined with DNA–DNA hybridization results allowed us to place strains IS-Hb4T (=JCM 14154T=DSM 18394T) and IS-Hb7T (=JCM 14155T=DSM 18393T) in the genus Halobacillus as the respective type strains of the novel species Halobacillus profundi sp. nov. and Halobacillus kuroshimensis sp. nov.

Background: Halophilic bacteria are potent organisms in production of novel bioactive antimicrobial compounds which might be considered in drug innovation and control of plant pathogens. Salt deserts in Semnan province are of the most permanent hypersaline areas in the North of Iran. Despite the importance of these areas, there is no scientific report regarding the biodiversity and potency of their halophilic bacteria. Thus, aforementioned areas were selected to detect the halophilic bacteria. Methods: Here, seven strains were isolated and cultured on their molecular and biochemical properties were characterized. To determine the antibiotic potency of the isolates, agar well diffusion method was conducted. Phylogenetic analysis was done to reveal the isolates relationship with previously known strains. Results: As a result, growth of the strains in the medium containing 5 to 20% (w/v) NaCl determined that the majority of the isolates were moderately halophile. Catalase activity of all strains was positive. The results represented that D6A, Dar and D8B have antimicrobial effects against different plant and human pathogens. Phylogenic tree analysis also showed that two strains of D6A and Dar are belonged to Bacillus subtilis and D8B is belonged to Virgibacillus olivae. The bacteria extracts were evaluated for their antifungal and antibacterial activities on human and Plant pathogenic strains. The MIC of the extract B. subtilis against was found active against human pathogenic fungi and Plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi, ranging from 12.5 to 25 µg/mL. Conclusion: This study highlights the therapeutic and prophylactic potential of B. subtilis extracts as antibacterial and antifungal agents.
