Abstract
    Use of curldlan, an insoluble β-1,3-glucan, as an enrichment substrate under aerobic conditions resulted in the selection from hypersaline soda lakes of a single natronarchaeon, strain AArc-curdl1. This organism is an obli?gately aerobic saccharolytic, possessing a poorly explored (in Archaea) potential to utilize beta-1–3 glucans, being only a second example of a haloarchaeon with this ability known in pure culture. The main phenotypic property of the isolate is the ability to grow with insoluble β-1,3-backboned glucans, i.e. curdlan and pachyman. Furthermore, the strain utilized starch family α-glucans, beta-fructan inulin and a limited spectrum of sugars. The major ether-bound membrane polar phospholipids included PGP-Me and PG. The glyco- and sulfolipids were absent. The major respiratory menaquinone is MK-8:8. According to phylogenomic analysis, AArc-curdl1 rep?resents a separate species in the recently described genus Natronosalvus within the family Natrialbaceae. The closest related species is Natronosalvus amylolyticus (ANI, AAI and DDH values of 90.2, 91.6 and 44 %, respec?tively). On the basis of its unique physiological properties and phylogenomic distance, strain AArc-curdl1T is classified as a novel species Natronosalvus hydrolyticus sp. nov. (=JCM 34865 = UQM 41566).
