Two Gram-positive, rod-shaped, endospore-forming strains, YIM B05601 and YIM B05602, were isolated from soil sampled at Hamazui hot spring, Tengchong City, Yunnan Province, PR China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences suggested that the two strains fell within the genus , appearing most closely related to YIM B00362 (96.9 % sequence similarity).

A bacterial strain, Gram staining positive, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, motile bacterium with flagellum and endospore-forming, designated strain YIM B05605, was isolated from soil sampled in Hamazui hot springs, Tengchong City, Yunnan province, China. Optimum growth for the strain occurred at pH 7.0 and 45 °C.

Article Synopsis
  • Several haloarchaea from the Halobacteriaceae family, specifically strain YIM 93972, exhibit complex life cycles comparable to those of Streptomyces bacteria, involving cellular differentiation into mycelia and spores.
  • * Genomic studies indicate that certain gene changes are indicative of the relationship among these archeal strains, suggesting a shared evolutionary history.
  • * The findings introduce strain YIM 93972 as a new species, Actinoarchaeum halophilum, highlighting the biological diversity and adaptability of archaea.
