Biology:Natronobacterium
Natronobacterium is a genus of archaeans in the family the Natrialbaceae.[1] A member of the domain Archaea, it is both an extreme halophile and alkaliphile, thriving at an optimum saline concentration of 20% and optimum pH of 10.
Taxonomy
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[1]
Proposed species:
- Natronobacterium chahanensis and Natronobacterium innemongoliae are proposed names for strains isolated from soda lakes in China. As of 2022, the descriptions from 1989 (N. chahanensis)[3] and 1997 (N. innemongoliae)[4] are not validly published.
- Species formerly placed in this taxon.
- Natronobacterium magadii, now Natrialba magadii
- Natronobacterium nitratireducens, now Halobiforma nitratireducens
- Natronobacterium pharaonis, now Natronomonas pharaonis
- Natronobacterium vacuolatum, now Halorubrum vacuolatum
