| Abstract |
A facultative chemoautotrophic bacterium, strain MLHE-1(T), was isolated from Mono Lake, an alkaline hypersaline soda lake in California, USA. Cells of strain MLHE-1(T) were Gram-negative, short motile rods that grew with inorganic electron donors (arsenite, hydrogen, sulfide or thiosulfate) coupled with the reduction of nitrate to nitrite. No aerobic growth was attained with arsenite or sulfide, but hydrogen sustained both aerobic and anaerobic growth. No growth occurred when nitrite or nitrous oxide was substituted for nitrate. Heterotrophic growth was observed under aerobic and anaerobic (nitrate) conditions. Cells of strain MLHE-1(T) could oxidize but not grow on CO, while CH(4) neither supported growth nor was it oxidized. When grown chemoautotrophically, strain MLHE-1(T) assimilated inorganic carbon via the Calvin-Benson-Bassham reductive pentose phosphate pathway, with the activity of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBisCO) functioning optimally at 0.1 M NaCl and at pH 7.3. Strain MLHE-1(T) grew over broad ranges of pH (7.3-10.0; optimum, 9.3), salinity (15-190 g l(-1); optimum 30 g l(-1)) and temperature (13-40 degrees C; optimum, 30 degrees C). Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences placed strain MLHE-1(T) in the class Gammaproteobacteria (family Ectothiorhodospiraceae) and most closely related to Alkalispirillum mobile (98.5 %) and Alkalilimnicola halodurans (98.6 %), although none of these three haloalkaliphilic micro-organisms were capable of photoautotrophic growth and only strain MLHE-1(T) was able to oxidize As(III). On the basis of physiological characteristics and DNA-DNA hybridization data, it is suggested that strain MLHE-1(T) represents a novel species within the genus Alkalilimnicola for which the name Alkalilimnicola ehrlichii is proposed. The type strain is MLHE-1(T) (=DSM 17681(T)=ATCC BAA-1101(T)). Aspects of the annotated full genome of Alkalilimnicola ehrlichii are discussed in the light of its physiology. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 April 2014.
All research outputs
#7,454,951
of 22,790,780 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology
#3,199
of 8,758 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#27,266
of 76,385 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology
#14
of 84 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,790,780 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,758 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 76,385 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 84 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
