An Extremely halophilic bacterium was isolated from solar salts. The isolated strain was Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, and motile bacterium. The colony was circular, smooth, and red-orange color. The strain showed pleomorphism depending on magnesium ion concentrations. The range of temperature and pH for growth of the isolate were 35 -45$\circ$C and 7.0 - 9.0. NaCl concentration for growth of it was 4.3 - 5.0 M. The isolate was catalase and oxidase positive, and sensitive to bacitracin. It showed starch hydrolyzing and acid forming characteristics. DNA G+C content was 62.7 mol%. The morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics of the isolate resembled those of the Haloarcula vallismortis, therefore it was identified as Haloarcula sp. EH-1.

멸치 젓갈에서 분리된 파아지의 일반적인 성질과 파아지 DNA 서열을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 멸치 젓갈에서 분리된 파아지의 플라그는 대체로 작고 선명한 핀 형태로 직경 0.5∼l.0 mm이었으며, 파아지의 형태는 지름 68 nm의 대칭형 두부와 길이 100 nm의 contractile 미부를 가지고 있었고 base plate가 관찰되었다. 파아지 DNA의 크기는 약 20 Kbp 정도이었으며, DNA 염기서열은 H. salinarium 파아지 hp 32와 52.87%의 상동성을 나타내었으나 보다 정확한 분류를 위해 파아지 DNA의 전체 염기서열에 대한 분석이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Intracellular enzymes of an extreme halophilic bacterium, Halobacterium sp. HE10, isolated from a saltern in Korea was investigated. The membrane-bound enzyme, NADH dehydrogenase, involved in electron transport system was stimulated by the addition of 2.0 M NaCl. The respiratory enzyme activities such as NADH oxidase and NADH dehydrogenase was decreased on removal of $Na^+$ ion and restored when replaced with cations like $K^+$, $Li^+$and $NH_{4}^{+}$ ions. Furthermore, their activities were affected by the anions such like carbonate, acetate, sulfate, chloride and nitrate at the presence of $Na^+$ion. Lactate dehydrogenase activity was highest at the asturated solution of NaCl and isocitrate dehydrogenase activity was a maximum level at 1.0 M NaCl. These results suggested that the enzyme activites of the respiratory chain in Halobacterium sp. EH10 was stimulated by the presence of $Na^+$ ion.

Extremely halophilic bacteria isolated from salterns at Mado, Kyunggido, Korea, were identified and investigated on their salt requirements. The results have shown that six strains were identified to be belonged to the genus Halobacterium and three strains identified as the fenus Halococcus. Among them, the optimal NaCl concentration for growth of Halobacterium sp. EH10 was at 4.2M and no growth occurs below 2.0M NaCl. The strain, EH10, is nonmotile and showed acid production from glucose, fructose and maltose while H. salinarum is motile and does not produce acid from any carbohydrates. On the other hand, the strain EH10 does not utilize readily glucose while a number of sugars are readily utilized for growth with acid production by H. saccharovorum. Thus, the isolate, EH10, was classified into the genus Halobacterium and could be a novel species of the genus by its main morphological and physiological features including G+C content. The optimal temperature for growth of the isolate, EH10, was 50.deg.C. But this strain did not grow when NaCl was replaced with KCl.
