Two novel halophilic archaeal strains, CBA1133T and CBA-
1134, were isolated from solar salt in South Korea. The 16S
rRNA gene sequences of the isolates were identical to each
other and were closely related to the genera Natronomonas
(92.3–93.5%), Salinirubellus (92.2%), Halomarina (91.3–
92.0%), and Haloglomus (91.4%). The isolated strains were
coccoid, Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, oxidase-positive, and
catalase-negative. Growth occurred under temperatures of
25–50°C (optimum, 45°C), NaCl levels of 10–30% (optimum,
15%), pH levels of 6.0–8.5 (optimum, 7.0), and MgCl2 concentrations
of 0–500 mM (optimum, 100 mM). Digital DNADNA
hybridization values between the strains and related
genera ranged from 18.3% to 22.7%. The major polar lipids
of the strains were phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl glycerol
phosphate methyl ester, and phosphatidyl glycerol sulfate.
Genomic, phenotypic, physiological, and biochemical
analyses of the isolates revealed that they represent a novel
genus and species in the family Halobacteriaceae. The type
strain is CBA1133T (= KACC 22148T = JCM 34265T), for which
the name Sala cibi gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.
