Abstract

Summary A new, extremely halophilic triangular archaebacterium was isolated from a Japanese saltern soil. This organism has a typically triangular shape under normal growth conditions. Polar lipid analyses indicate an affinity with members of the genus Haloarcula , but the isolate differs significantly from known species of this genus. We propose a new species for the isolate as Haloarcula japonica sp. nov.
