“…Quinones may amount to about 9 % of the total neutral lipid content of the cells (Kamekura and Kates 1988). The relative abundance of MK-8 and MK-8(VIII-H 2 ) depend on the growth conditions (Tindall 1992;Tindall et al 1991). Nbt.…”

“…The most abundant isoprenoid quinones in the family Halobacteriaceae are MK-8 and MK-(8-VIII-H 2 ) (Collins et al , 1981). The relative abundance of these two menaquinones varies according to the age of the culture and the salinity of the medium (Tindall et al , 1991). In addition, methylated menaquinones have been detected in some species (Tindall & Collins, 1986; Collins & Tindall, 1987).…”

The halophilic Archaea of the family Halobacteriaceae (36 genera with 129 species with standing in nomenclature as of November 2011) provide an excellent example of how changing concepts on prokaryote taxonomy and the development of new methods have influenced the way in which the taxonomy of a single group of prokaryotes is treated. This review gives an overview of the taxonomy of the family Halobacteriaceae, showing the impact that methods of phenotypic characterization, numerical taxonomy, chemotaxonomy and especially polar lipid analysis, 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, multilocus type analysis and comparative genomics have had on their classification.

Euryarchaeota / Halobacteria / Natrialbales / Natrialbaceae / Natronobacterium Rods in liquid culture in the exponential phase of growth, usually 0 . 5–1 . 0 × 2–15 μ m . Cells become shorter in older liquid cultures, while cells are short rods to coccobacilli or coccoid on agar plates (Figure 1). Resting stages are not known. Gram‐negative . Cells lyse rapidly in distilled water . Nonmotile . Aerobic . Growth stimulated by carbohydrates . Nitrate and nitrite are not reduced. Gelatin hydrolyzed. Starch is not hydrolyzed. Sulfide produced from thiosulfate. Alkaliphilic , requiring a pH of at least 8.5 for growth, with an optimum at pH 9 . 5–10 . 0 . Grows at 2.0– 5.2 M NaCl, with an optimum at 3 M. Requires only low concentrations of magnesium (<10 mM), elevated concentrations becoming toxic. Temperature range for growth 25–40°C, with an optimum at 37°C.
