Summary: A halophilic archaeal strain, designated C46(T), was isolated from an inland salt lake in Qinghai Province, PR China. The phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain C46(T) belongs to the genus Halobaculum and is closely related to Halobaculum rubrum strain WSA2(T).

Summary: Five novel halophilic archaeal strains were isolated from coastal saline sediments and sea salt in China. They demonstrated typical morphology and growth characteristics and showed high similarities with existing species. However, based on genetic and phylogenetic analyses, it is confirmed that these strains represent five new species. This is the first report of a novel haloarchaeon isolated from a marine intertidal zone.

Summary: The newly discovered Salinadaptatus halalkaliphilus is capable of thriving in high-salt and high-alkaline environments, exhibiting specific oxygen requirements and optimal ranges for temperature and pH. It belongs to a new genus within the family Natrialbaceae, based on phylogenetic analysis, phenotypic characteristics, chemotaxonomic properties, and genome relatedness.

Summary: The extracellular protease HlyA from Halococcus salifodinae exhibited good temperature, pH, and salinity tolerance, with significant enhancements in activity by Ca2+, Mg2+, and Sr2+. It was completely inhibited by phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), indicating it is a serine protease. Additionally, HlyA showed good tolerance to some surfactants and organic solvents, making it a promising candidate for industrial applications.

Summary: Four halophilic archaea strains were isolated from salt and soda lakes in China. These strains were genetically distinct from existing genera and may represent new species and genera within the family Natrialbaceae. Phenotypic characteristics and lipid profiles also differentiated these strains from related genera.

Summary: A novel thermoacidophilic, obligate symbiotic archaeon named strain MJ1T was cultivated with its specific host archaeon Metallosphaera sedula strain MJ1HA from a terrestrial hot spring in Japan. The co-culture showed aerobic growth of strain MJ1T, with coccoid cells attaching to the MJ1HA cells. The optimal growth temperature and pH of strain MJ1T in the co-culture were 65-70°C and pH 2.5, respectively.

Summary: Two heterotrophic bacteroidetes strains were isolated from hypersaline soda lakes in southwestern Siberia. Strain Z-1702T is an obligate anaerobic fermentative saccharolytic bacterium, while Ca. Cyclonatronum proteinivorum OmegaT is an obligate aerobic proteolytic microorganism. Both strains have highly variable morphology and are chloride-independent moderate salt-tolerant obligate alkaliphiles and mesophiles.

Summary: A new thermoacidophilic, anaerobic, iron- and sulfur-reducing archaeon strain NAS-02(T) was isolated from a terrestrial hot spring in Japan, leading to the proposal of a new genus Conexivisphaera calida gen. nov., sp. nov. The establishment of the new family Conexivisphaeraceae fam. nov., order Conexivisphaerales ord. nov., and class Conexivisphaeria class. nov. also followed based on phylogenetic and physiological analysis.

Summary: Four halophilic archaeal strains, YPL8(T), SLN56(T), LT61(T), and KZCA68(T), were isolated from different regions in China. Three of these strains belong to a new species of the genus Natrinema, named Natrinema halophilum sp. nov., Natrinema salinisoli sp. nov., and Natrinema amylolyticum sp. nov. The fourth strain is a new species of the genus Haloterrigena, named Haloterrigena alkaliphila sp. nov.
