Three Gram reaction positive, rod-shaped, moderately motile halophilic bacterial strains, designated YD3-56(T), YD16, and YH29, were isolated from the sediments of Manasi and Aiding salt lakes in the Xinjiang region of China, respectively. The strains grew optimally at 30-37 degrees C, pH 8-11, in the presence of 5-10% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strains were closely related to members of the genus Oceanobacillus, exhibiting 99.

- * Four genes involved in this pathway (gbsT, gbsI, gbsA, and gbsB) were found to be located together in a 5.1-kilobase fragment.
- * When two of these genes (gbsA and gbsB) were expressed in an E. coli mutant, the modified bacteria successfully grew in high salt conditions and confirmed the production of glycine betaine through a specialized imaging technique.
