AI Article Synopsis
- A unique bacterium was discovered in a soda lake in Wadi An Natrun, Egypt, that thrives in extremely salty, basic, and warm environments.
- It grows best at high salt concentrations (3.7 M Na), alkaline pH levels (9.5), and temperatures around 43°C.
- The draft genome of this bacterium spans 2.63 Mb and contains 2,681 predicted genes that may help it adapt to challenges like osmotic stress, pH balance, and heat.
Article Abstract
The anaerobic, halophilic, alkaliphilic, thermotolerant bacterium was isolated from a soda lake in Wadi An Natrun, Egypt. It grows optimally at 3.7 M Na, pH 9.5, and 43°C. The draft genome consists of 2.63 Mb and is composed of 2,681 predicted genes. Genomic analysis showed that various genes are potentially involved in the adaptation mechanisms for osmotic stress, pH homeostasis, and high temperatures.
