@article{oai:nipr.repo.nii.ac.jp:00006161, author = {Okamoto,Takuji and Fujioka,Kantaro and Naganuma,Takeshi}, journal = {Polar bioscience}, month = {Feb}, note = {P(論文), Deep-sea halophilic strains, 4 halomonads and 1 pseudoalteromonad, were isolated from high-temperature hydrothermal fluids of the TAG hydrothermal mound in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Two of the TAG halomonads were closely related to Antarctic halomonads based on 16S rDNA sequences (1350bp). Subhydrothermal vents and Antarctic terrains are known to provide high-salinity habitats for halophilic life. The TAG-Antarctic halomonad kinship indicates the wide distribution of halophiles over globally distant habitats, regardless of large differences in temperatures of the habitats. This suggests that microbial eco-physiology in Antarctica (and sub-hydrothermal vent), which has been studied in terms of temperature adapation, may be complemented by halotolerance and halophilism studies.}, pages = {1--9}, title = {Phylogenetic similarity of aerobic gram-negative halophilic bacteria from a deep-sea hydrothermal mound and Antarctic habitats}, volume = {14}, year = {2001} }
