Growth and Biochemical Composition Characteristics of Induced by Simultaneous Nitrogen Deficiency and Seawater-Supplemented Medium in an Outdoor Raceway Pond in Winter.

, a well-known cyanobacterium, is widely applied not only in human and animal nutrition but also in cosmetics for its high amounts of active products. The biochemical composition plays a key role in the application performance of the biomass. The present study aimed to evaluate the growth and biochemical composition characteristics of , cultured with a nitrogen-free and seawater-supplemented medium in an outdoor raceway pond in winter.

Halorubrum glutamatedens sp. nov., a Halophilic Archaeon Isolated from a Rock Salt.

An extremely halophilic archaeon, strain ZY8, was isolated from a rock salt of Yunnan salt mine. It was able to grow at 12-30% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 15-20%), pH 7.0-9.

Halorubrum depositum sp. nov., a Novel Halophilic Archaeon Isolated from a Salt Deposit.

A non-motile, pleomorphic rod-shaped or oval, red-pigmented (nearly scarlet), extremely halophilic archaeon, strain Y78, was isolated from a salt deposit of Yunnan salt mine, China. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that it was phylogenetically related to species of the genus Halorubrum, with a close relationship to Halorubrum rutilum YJ-18-S1 (98.6%), Halorubrum yunnanense Q85 (98.
