Background Halomicrobium mukohataei (strain ATCC 700874 / DSM 12286 / JCM 9738 / NCIMB 13541) is a halophilic archaeon, originally isolated from alt flats in Argentina. This organism is an extreme halophile requiring at least 14.5% NaCl to grow. The optimal growth with the normal rod-shaped morphology is obtained at about 45 degrees Celsius. Above this temperature, cells grow rapidly, but assume a spherical morphology. No growth is obtained above 52 degrees Celsius. The pH range for growth is 6.2-8.0, and no growth is observed below pH 6.0 or above pH 8.2. H.mukohataei grows on glucose, galactose, sucrose, maltose or glycerol as single carbon and energy source. No growth is obtained on sodium acetate, sodium succinate, L-glutamate or ribose. Anaerobic growth is observed with nitrate as electron acceptor, with the formation of nitrite and gas.
