HALOPHILE-L on listproc at listproc.cc.geneseo.edu Halophilic Microorganisms
and Their Environments
HALOPHILE-L is a group covering "Halophilic Microorganisms and Their
Environments". This group is about microorganisms that both tolerate
and/or require elevated levels of salt for growth. The area of
discussion will cover broad scientific ground: from topics about the
ecology, taxonomy and the practical uses of halophiles (e.g.
bio-remediation) to the molecular biology of the group including such
issues as the structure of macromolecules at high salt.
Historically, there has been some controversy as to what is a
halophile, and perhaps this can be one of the first topics for
discussion, but the list administrator currently defines it to
include organisms that grow in or between the defining salt
conditions for Moderate Halophiles (3 to 15% NaCl) and Extreme
Halophiles (18 to 30% NaCl).
