On the basis of its polar lipid composition, nucleotide sequences of its 16S rRNA genes, genomic DNA G+C content (62.4 mol%) and growth characteristics, the organism could be assigned to the genus Haloarcula. Phenotypic differences and low DNA–DNA hybridization values to related Haloarcula species distinguished strain BD-3T from recognized Haloarcula species. It is therefore concluded that strain BD-3T represents a novel species, for which the name Haloarcula amylolytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BD-3T (=CGMCC 1.5335T=JCM 13557T).", }
