The Halomonadaceae are a family of halophilic Proteobacteria.

History

The family was originally described in 1988 to contain the genera Halomonas and Deleya.[2]

In 1989, Chromobacterium marismortui was reclassified as Chromohalobacter marismortui forming a third genus in the family Halomonadaceae.[3]

Subsequently, in 1990 a species was discovered and was originally proposed to be called Volcaniella eurihalina forming a new genus in the Halomonadaceae,[4] but was later (in 1995) reclassified as a member of the genus Halomonas.[5]

The species Carnimonas nigrificans (sole member of genus) was not placed in the family due to the lack of two out of 15 descriptive 16S rRNA signature sequences,[6] but it has been proposed to reclassify it into the family.[7]

In 1996, the family was later reorganised by unifying genera Deleya, Halomonas and Halovibrio and the species Paracoccus halodenitrificans into Halomonas and placing Zymobacter in this family.[8] However, it was later discovered that the strain of Halovibrio variabilis DSM 3051 and DSM 3050 differed and the latter was made type strain of the Halovibrio, which remains still in use.[9][10] and now comprising two species (the other being Halovibrio denitrificans)[10]

In 2002, Halomonas marina was transferred to its own genus Cobetia,[11] and in 2009 Halomonas marisflavi, Halomonas indalinina. and Halomonas avicenniae were transferred to a new genus called Kushneria (5 species)

Several singleton genera were created recently: in 2007, Halotalea alkalilenta was described,[12] Aidingimonas halophila in 2009,[13] Halospina denitrificans in 2006,[10] Modicisalibacter tunisiensis in 2009[14] Salinicola socius in 2009.[15] To the latter genus two species were transferred Halomonas salaria as Salinicola salarius and Chromohalobacter salarius as Salinicola halophilus.[16]

The family also contain the recently discovered but uncultured bacterium "Candidatus Portiera aleyrodidarum" (primary endosymbionts of whiteflies[17]).

Genera

Note: Species of Deleya and Halovibrio are now Halomonas

Etymology

The names derives from Halomonas, which is the type genus of the family, plus the suffix -aceae, ending to denote a family[29]

Research

Geomicrobiologist Felisa Wolfe-Simon with a NASA funded team is researching a particular strain the Halomonadaceae family, named GFAJ-1, isolated and cultured from sediments collected along the shore of Mono Lake, near Yosemite National Park in eastern California.[30][31] This GFAJ-1 strain of Halomonadaceae can grow in the presence of high concentrations of arsenic.[32]
