Lythic action of an anaerobic proteolytic bacterium Proteinivorax tanatarense on organisms with different cell wall types was studied. In the absence of photosynthetic oxygen release, this proteolytic was able to grow on intact biomass of cyanobacteria belonging to various systematic groups. Itis probably their usual saprotrophic-satellite responsible for the regulation of abundance of primary producers during the dark phase. Growth also occurred on the biomass of a nonphototrophic gram-negative microorganism-Halomonas campisalis, a common component of alkaliphilic. microbial communities: Comparative analysis of the interaction of the proteolytic with.H. campisalis cells at different physiological states revealed the lytic action to be re- stricted to dead and/or weakened cells, rather than the actively dividing ones. Strict specificity of the action of the proteolytic bacterium on gram-negative microorganisms with no effect on gram-positive ones was shown.

A search for the organisms responsible for the degradation of biomass of primary producers in Tanatar lakes resulted in the isolation of a novel anaerobic, haloalkaliphilic microorganism, strain Z-710. The strain grows on proteinaceous substrates (peptides) but not on proteins. A rather limited range of substances of other classes can be utilised together with tryptone but not individually.

Two strains of a novel anaerobic, protein- and nucleoside-utilizing bacterium, Z-910(T) and Z-810, were isolated. The strains were spore-forming, mainly nonmotile rods, exhibiting positive Gram reaction with Gram-positive cell wall structure. The strains were mesophilic and haloalkaliphilic.
