An extremely halophilic archaeon was isolated from a water sample of Isla Bacuta saltern in Huelva, Spain. Strain ASP54T is a novel red-pigmented, motile, rod-shaped, Gram-stain-negative and strictly aerobic haloarchaeon. Strain ASP54T grew in media containing 15–30 % (w/v) salts and optimally with 25 % (w/v) salts. It grew between pH 5.0 and...

In 2019, the biggest listeriosis outbreak by Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) in the South of Spain was reported, resulting in the death of three patients from 207 confirmed cases. One strain, belonging to clonal complex 388 (Lm CC388), has been isolated. We aimed to determine the Lm CC388 virulence in comparison with other highly virulent clones...

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain BA45ALT, was isolated from water of a saltern located in Santa Pola, Alicante, Spain. Cells were motile, and catalase-and oxidase-positive. Strain BA45ALT grew at temperatures in the range 14-45 °C (optimally at 37 °C), at pH 5.0-9.0...
