Description of Halorubrum coriense MBLA 0042

Cells are Gram-stain-negative and coccus-shaped cells with 0.4-0.5 μm in diameter. Colonies are red, circular, and flat after 14 days of incubation on DBCM2 at 37℃. Catalase activity is positive, but oxidase activity is negative. Growth occurs at 20-40℃ (optimum, 37℃), 10- 25% NaCl (optimum, 15%), and pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and lysed in distilled water. D- Glucose, D- galactose, maltose, sucrose, glycerol, pyruvate, DL- lactate, and L- alanine are utilized as sole energy sources for growth; but D- mannose, lactose, D- fructose, D- ribose, D- arabinose, L- rhamnose, D- xylose, trehalose, raffinose, L- sorbose, D- mannitol, succinate, malate, fumarate, citrate, acetate, L- glycine, L- histidine, L- glutamate, L- arginine, L- lysine, and L- ornithine are not utilized. The NCBI accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OP077338. Strain MBLA0042 (= NIBRARC000509745) was isolated from a solar saltern in Siheung , Gyeonggi-do Province, Korea (37°24′08.6″N, 126°45′22.7″E) .
