Distribution of Genes for Synthesis of Trehalose and Mannosylglycerate in Thermus spp. and Direct Correlation of These Genes with Halotolerance

In this study we correlate the presence of genes leading to the synthesis of trehalose and mannosylglycerate (MG) in 17 strains of the genus Thermus with the ability of the strains to grow and accumulate these compatible solutes in a defined medium containing NaCl. The two sets of genes, namely, ots...
