Halomonadaceae
Halomonadaceae is a family of halophilic Pseudomonadota. History The family was originally described in 1988 to contain the genera ''Halomonas'' and ''Deleya''. In 1989, ''Chromobacterium marismortui'' was reclassified as ''Chromohalobacter marismortui'' forming a third genus in the family Halomonadaceae. Subsequently, in 1990 a species was discovered and was originally proposed to be called ''Volcaniella eurihalina'' forming a new genus in the ''Halomonadaceae'', but was later (in 1995) reclassified as a member of the genus ''Halomonas''. The species ''Carnimonas nigrificans'' (sole member of genus) was not placed in the family due to the lack of two out of 15 descriptive 16S rRNA signature sequences, but it has been proposed to reclassify it into the family. In 1996, the family was later reorganised by unifying genera ''Deleya'', ''Halomonas'' and ''Halovibrio'' and the species ''Paracoccus halodenitrificans'' into ''Halomonas'' and placing ''Zymobacter'' in this family.

GFAJ-1
GFAJ-1 is a strain of rod-shaped bacteria in the family Halomonadaceae. It is an extremophile that was isolated from the hypersaline and alkaline Mono Lake in eastern California by geobiologist Felisa Wolfe-Simon, a NASA research fellow in residence at the US Geological Survey. In a 2010 ''Science'' journal publication, the authors claimed that the microbe, when starved of phosphorus, is capable of substituting arsenic for a small percentage of its phosphorus to sustain its growth. Immediately after publication, other microbiologists and biochemists expressed doubt about this claim, which was robustly criticized in the scientific community. Subsequent independent studies published in 2012 found no detectable arsenate in the DNA of GFAJ-1, refuted the claim, and demonstrated that GFAJ-1 is simply an arsenate-resistant, phosphate-dependent organism. Discovery The GFAJ-1 bacterium was discovered by geomicrobiologist Felisa Wolfe-Simon, a NASA astrobiology fellow in residence at the ...

Aidingimonas
''Aidingimonas'' is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria). Etymology The name ''Aidingimonas'' derives from: New Latin noun ''Aidingum'', Aiding (a lake located in Xinjiang province of north-west China); and ''monas'' (μονάς), monad a unit, a monad; New Latin thus ''Aidingimonas'', a monad from Aiding Lake. Members of the genus ''Aidingimonas'' can be referred to as aidingimonads (''viz.'' Trivialisation of names). Species The genus contains a single species, namely '' A. halophila'' ( Wang ''et al''. 2009, type species of the genus); ''hals, halos'' (ἅλς, ἁλός), salt; and ''phila'' ''philē'' (φίλη)), friend, loving; thus ''halophila'', salt-loving).

Arsenic
Arsenic is a chemical element with the symbol As and atomic number 33. Arsenic occurs in many minerals, usually in combination with sulfur and metals, but also as a pure elemental crystal. Arsenic is a metalloid. It has various allotropes, but only the gray form, which has a metallic appearance, is important to industry. The primary use of arsenic is in alloys of lead (for example, in car batteries and ammunition). Arsenic is a common n-type dopant in semiconductor electronic devices. It is also a component of the III-V compound semiconductor gallium arsenide. Arsenic and its compounds, especially the trioxide, are used in the production of pesticides, treated wood products, herbicides, and insecticides. These applications are declining with the increasing recognition of the toxicity of arsenic and its compounds. A few species of bacteria are able to use arsenic compounds as respiratory metabolites. Trace quantities of arsenic are an essential dietary element in rats, ham ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Salinicola Salarius
Salinicola salarius is a Gram-negative, moderately halophilic, piezophilic bacterium that requires pressures of 102 MPa to grow. The species was first isolated from a salt water sample from Anmyeondo, Korea and was formally described in 2007. ''S salarius'' cells are aerobic, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods (0.8–0.9x1.3–1.7 μm) that form yellow, smooth, translucent, circular colonies with entire edges. The oxidase- and catalase-positive cells are motile and possess lateral/polar flagella. Growth occurs at 10–45 °C (optimally at 25–30 °C) and at pH 5–10 (optimum pH 7–8). The strain is able to grow at salinities between 0 and 25% NaCl (optimum 10–20% NaCl). S.I. Paul et al. (2021) isolated and identified salt tolerant ''Salinicola salarius'' from marine sponges (''Niphates erecta, Hemimycale columella)'' of the Saint Martin's Island Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh Bangladesh (}, ), officially the People's Republic of Banglad ...
