title: [Taxonomy of a new species of haloalkalophilic archaeon].
abstract: A strain of Haloalkalophilic Archaeon Y21 was isolated from soda lake in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The isolate is rod shaped, motile and red clone. On the basis of morphology, physiology and biochemistry, polar lipid composition, phylogentic analysis and DNA-DNA hybridization, we found that strain Y21 is new species of the genus Natrilba. The name Natrilba wudunaoensis sp. nov. is proposed.
