Article Synopsis
- Strain LCHXa is a newly discovered bacterium from Laguna Chaxa, a high lithium-content water body in Chile, showing resilience to high lithium levels.
- It was cultivated in a lab with Luria-Bertani medium enhanced with lithium chloride, demonstrating the ability to grow in conditions up to 2 M LiCl, though growth slowed significantly.
- The bacterium's osmoregulation utilizes compatible solutes like glycine betaine and glycerol to manage osmotic stress in high-salinity environments.
A Gram-positive, coagulase-negative, novobiocin resistant, and lithium-tolerant bacterium was isolated from Salar de Atacama. Strain LCHXa is closely related to Staphylococcus sciuri. Its genome is 3,013,090 bp long and contains 2,551 predicted protein genes.
