Two Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, aerobic and carotenoid-producing strains, belonging to the family designated as H149 and Z2, were isolated from tidal flat sediment samples collected in Hainan and Zhejiang, PR China, respectively. Growth of strain H149 occurred at 15-42 °C, 0-10.0 % (w/v) NaCl, and pH 6.

Neuronal growth, differentiation, extension, branching and neural network activity are strongly influenced by the mechanical property of extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the mechanism by which substrate stiffness regulates a neural network activity, and the importance of ECM composition in conferring substrate stiffness sensing have not been explored. To address this question, the hippocampal neurons were seeded on the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate with different stiffness, which were coated with fibronectin and laminin respectively.
