Abstract
The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains XK1T, XK2, XK3, XK4 and XK5 are EU085033, EU085034, EU085035, EU085036 and EU085037, respectively.
Transmission electron micrographs of cells of the novel strains, an extended phylogenetic tree and the BOX-PCR fingerprint patterns of the novel strains are available as supplementary figures with the online version of this paper. A supplementary table detailing the intraspecies variability of phenotypic characteristics for the five strains of Halomonas korlensis sp. nov. is also available.
