Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Moderately Halophilic Bacteria

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Federation of European Microbiological Societies Symposium Series ((FEMS,volume 75))

Abstract

Halobacteria are a group of procaryotes very well adapted to live in environments with high salinities. In fact, they grow optimally in media with 15 to 25% NaCl and are able to grow at saturated salt concentrations (Rodriguez-Valera, 1988; Kushner and Kamekura, 1988). They are grouped in the order Halobacteriales, in the family Halobacteriaceae, and currently species are included in six different genera: Halobacterium, Haloarcula, Haloferax, Halococcus, Natronobacterium and Natronococcus (Grant and Larsen, 1989). Phylogenetically, halobacteria are included within the archaebacteria (Domain Archaea), most closely related to methanogens (Woese, 1987; Woese et al., 1990). However, in hypersaline environments, in addition to halobacteria, several other procaryotes which show haloadaptation can be observed. They are usually found in media of intermediate salinities, and are designated as moderate halophiles.
