For cost-competitive biosynthesis of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), the screening of efficient producers and characterization of their genomic potential is fundamental. In this study, 94 newly isolated halophilic strains from Turkish salterns were screened for their polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) biosynthesis capabilities through fermentation. Halomonas halmophila 18H was found to be the highest PHB producer, yielding 63.72 % of its biomass as PHB. The PHB produced by this strain was physically and chemically characterized using various techniques. Its genome was also sequenced and found to be large (6,713,657 bp) and have a GC content of 59.9 %. Halomonas halmophila 18H was also found to have several copies of PHB biosynthesis genes, as well as 20 % more protein-coding genes and 1075 singletons compared to other high PHB producers. These unique genomic features make it a promising cell factory for the simultaneous production of PHAs and other biotechnologically important secondary metabolites.

A halophilic, Gram-negative bacterial strain, designated AJ261T, which was isolated from a soil sample from a salt lake on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. The isolate grew optimally in the presence of 3-5 % NaCl and used various carbohydrates as sole carbon and energy sources. The genomic DNA G+C content was 63.

A novel moderately halophilic bacterium belonging to the genus Halomonas was isolated from brine samples collected from Ezzemoul sabkha in north-eastern Algeria. The cells of strain 5-3(T) were Gram-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile. The strain was catalase- and oxidase-positive and produced an exopolysaccharide.
