Fodinibius alkaliphilus sp. nov., a moderately halophilic and alkaliphilic bact...
He, Yang; Simões, Marta Filipa Jesus Freitas; de la Haba, Rafael R.; Santos-Pereira, Cátia; Pereira-Sousa, Joana; Gomes, Joana S.A novel moderately halophilic and alkaliphilic Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, bacterial strain (N2T) was isolated from an inland saltern in central Portugal. The taxonomic position of this isolate was determined based on polyphasic taxonomic and phylogenomic analysis. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that isolate N2T belongs to the genus Fodinibius, showing the highest si...

Santos-Pereira, Cátia; Gomes, Joana S.; Sousa, Joana; Simões, Marta F.; Franco-Duarte, Ricardo; Chaves, Susana R.; Silvério, Sara Isabel CruzSurfactants are tensioactive chemical compounds extensively used worldwide in a myriad of industrial sectors and in our daily lives, being present in numerous products including cosmetics, detergents, fabric softeners, toothpaste, among many others. Millions of tonnes of surfactants are thus manufactured every year. Most commercially available surfactants are non-renewable petroleum-based compounds that can hav...
