NaCl range mid1

Edge evidence

• modest osmoadaptive tolerance produces NaCl range mid1 METPO:2000202

  Modest osmoadaptive tolerance yields a 1–3% NaCl growth range.

  • DOI:10.1093/femsre/fuy009 slight halophile Supports the 1–3% range as the slight-halophile outcome.
• NaCl range mid1 is a NaCl range rdfs:subClassOf

  NaCl range mid1 is a quantitative bin of the NaCl-range phenotype.

  • DOI:10.1093/femsre/fuy009 salinity range Supports the 1–3% range as a value within the NaCl-range distribution.
• NaCl range mid1 corresponds to slight halophile

  The 1-3% w/v NaCl range corresponds to the slight-halophile phenotype.

  • DOI:10.1007/978-3-540-74231-9 slight halophiles grow best in media with 1 to 3% NaCl
• slight halophile distinct from moderate halophile

  Slight halophiles are distinct from moderate halophiles, which grow optimally at higher NaCl.

  • DOI:10.1007/978-3-540-74231-9 moderate halophiles grow optimally in media with 3 to 15% NaCl
• moderate halophile defined as optimal growth between 0.5 and 2.5 M salt

  Moderate halophiles are defined as organisms growing optimally between 0.5 and 2.5 M salt.

  • DOI:10.1128/MMBR.62.2.504-544.1998 moderate halophiles as organisms growing optimally between 0.5 and 2.5 M salt
• K+ accumulation contributes to osmotic balance / salt adaptation RO:0002326

  K+ accumulation contributes to osmotic balance and salt adaptation.

  • DOI:10.1128/AEM.00145-24 simultaneously accumulating compatible solutes and K+; general osmoadaptation edge
• compatible solute strategy characterizes halotolerant and moderate halophiles

  The compatible-solute strategy characterizes halotolerant and moderate halophiles.

  • DOI:10.1093/FEMSRE/FUY026 halotolerant and moderate halophiles rely on excluding ions and producing compatible solutes such as glycine betaine
