Abstract
Halophilic and halotolerant microorganisms have a high biotechnological potential. They are producers of biologically active substances, stress-protective agents, hydrolytic enzymes, and are used for environmental bioremediation. At the same time, the characterization of novel halotolerant bacteria and determination of their salt tolerance strategies are important basic problems. The present work reports the isolation of a new strain, MX2, from the salt well brine of the Yakshinskoe potassium−magnesium salt deposit. The isolate was an aerobic, gram-positive, nonmotile bacterium that did not form spores. The cell morphology varied from cocci to short rods capable of producing V-shaped forms. The colonies on agar were circular, with an entire edge and raised center, glistening and orange. Bacteria of strain MX2 were halotolerant microorganisms capable of growing at NaCl concentrations up to 9%. The genome of strain MX2 was sequenced. Its estimated size was 3 747 717 bp, and the number of protein-coding genes was 3562. Strain MX2 was identified as belonging to the species Dietzia maris based on analysis of the 16S rRNA, gyrB, rpoB, recA, and ppk gene sequences and using time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). D. maris MX2 had complete metabolic pathways for the synthesis of ectoine, hydroxyectoine, and trehalose, as well as the transport systems for ectoine, hydroxyectoine, trehalose, glycerol, glycerol-3-phosphate, L-proline, and glycine-betaine. Thus, to ensure the osmotic balance, D. maris MX2 used the strategy of accumulating compatible organic solutes.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
