Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-producing extreme halophilic archaeon: Haloferax sp MA10 isolated from Camalti Saltern, Izmir
WOS: 000304071800008 Izmir Camalti Saltern is the biggest seawater-based saltern in Turkey. To date, it has not been investigated extensively for the existence of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB)-producing species. In this study, 14 extremely halophilic archaea were isolated, purified, and screened for...

To date, it has not been investigated extensively for the existence of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB)-producing species. In this study, 14 extremely halophilic archaea were isolated, purified, and screened for PHB production.

PHB was extracted from cells and measured with a spectrophotometer, and then the amount of PHB was measured through comparison with standard PHB. The detected high PHB yield was 6.53% of the dry cell weight in the PHB medium supplemented with acetate. Partial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed 99% similarity to Haloferax alexandrinus strain TMT; therefore, the strain was named Haloferax sp. MA10. Haloferax sp. MA 10 and Haloferax alexandrinus TMT have some differences in phenotypic and biochemical properties. With this study, the discovery of PHB-producing extreme halophilic archaeon Haloferax sp. MA 10 at Izmir's Camalti Saltern is reported for the first time.
