Reduction of the four Fe centers is not required to initiate the reaction of the Halomonas halodenitrificans nitric oxide reductase (NOR) based on the facts that NOR in the form that ferric heme b(3) and non-heme iron (Fe(B)) are not bridged and/or the interaction between them is weakened and reversibly binds NO molecules, and that NOR in the form that only heme b(3) is oxidized reacts with NO molecules.

A moderately halophilic, Gram-stain-negative, aerobic bacterium, strain D1-1, belonging to the genus , was isolated from soil sampled at Pentha beach, Odisha, India. Phylogenetic trees reconstructed based on 16S rRNA genes and multilocus sequence analysis of and genes revealed that strain D1-1 belonged to the genus and was most closely related to YKJ-16 (98.1 %) followed by Al12 (97.

A novel Gram-stain-negative, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain 204, was isolated from a marine sediment sample in the Bohai Gulf, Yellow Sea, China. Cells of strain 204 are aerobic, motile, cocci or short rods with two lateral flagella. Growth was observed at 15-40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.

Conventionally, animal hide and skin necessitates 95% saturated brine solution (SBS) for its preservation. This salt is primarily derived from different sources including solar-saltern, evaporation ponds, etc., which are laden with different types of halophilic micro-organisms.

Halomonas halodenitrificans nitric oxide reductase (NOR) is the membrane-bound heterodimer complex of NorC, which contains a low-spin heme c center, and NorB, which contains a low-spin heme b center, a high-spin heme b center, and a non-heme Fe center. The soluble domain of NorC, NorC* (ΔMet1-Val37) was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli using expression plasmids harboring the truncated norC gene deleted of its 84 5'-terminal nucleotides. Analogous scission of the N-terminal helix as the membrane anchor took place when the whole norC gene was used.

A number of bioengineering techniques are being developed using microbially catalyzed hydrolysis of urea to precipitate calcium carbonate for soil and sand strengthening in the subsurface. In this study, we evaluate denitrification as an alternative microbial metabolism to induce carbonate precipitation for bioengineering under anaerobic conditions and at high pressure. In anaerobic batch culture, the halophile Halomonas halodenitrificans is shown to be able to precipitate calcium carbonate at high salinity and at a pressure of 8 MPa, with results comparable to those observed when grown at ambient pressure.
