Abstract:
A Gram-stain negative, spherical, obligately aerobic bacterium, designated strain WN38T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern on the coast of Weihai, China. Optimal growth occurred at 33 °C, pH 7.0-7.5 and in the presence of 3-4 % (w/v) NaCl. The genome of strain WN38T was found to contain the genes necessary for arsenate reductase and related proteins, indicating that it may have potential in bioremediation of heavy metal polluted environments. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain WN38T represented a member of the genus Coraliomargarita, and was related most closely to Coraliomargarita akajimensis KCTC 12865T (95.7 %). Pairwise sequence similarities to all other type strains of species were below 90 %. Genome-based calculations (average nucleotide identity, genome-to-genome distance and DNA G+C percentage) and results of pairwise amino acid identity (AAI >60 %) and percentage of conserved proteins (POCP >50 %) also indicated clearly that strain WN38T represents a novel species within this genus. Different phenotypic analyses, such as the detection of a quinone system composed of the sole respiratory quinone was menaquinone-7 (MK-7) and a fatty acid profile with iso-C14 : 0, C18 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9c as major components, supported this finding at the same time as contributing to a comprehensive characterization of strain WN38T. On the basis of its phenotypic and genotypic properties, strain WN38T represents a novel species of the genus Coraliomargarita, for which the name Coraliomargaritasinensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WN38T (=KCTC 62602T=MCCC 1H00313T).

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
