A starch-hydrolysing and extremely halophilic archaeon (strain BD-3T), isolated from Aibi salt lake in Xin-Jiang, China, was characterized phenotypically and genotypically in order to determine its taxonomic status. On the basis of its polar lipid composition, nucleotide sequences of its 16S rRNA genes, genomic DNA G+C content (62.4 mol%) and growth characteristics, the organism could be assigned to the genus Haloarcula. Phenotypic differences and low DNA–DNA hybridization values to related Haloarcula species distinguished strain BD-3T from recognized Haloarcula species. It is therefore concluded that strain BD-3T represents a novel species, for which the name Haloarcula amylolytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BD-3T (=CGMCC 1.5335T=JCM 13557T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the three 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain BD-3T are DQ826512, DQ826513 and DQ854818.

A thin-layer chromatogram of total polar lipids from strain BD-3T and members of the genus Haloarcula is available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
