title: Identification and characterization of salt-inducible polypeptide in Paenibacillus sp., a moderately halophilic bacterium.
abstract: In response to salt, Paenibacillus sp. strain XII expresses a 21.4 kDa polypeptide. N-terminal sequencing and sequence homology analysis indicate homology between the N-terminal sequence of the polypeptide and a segment of the N-terminus of the spore coat associated protein CotN of Oceanobacillus iheyensis, an extremely halotolerant bacteria of the deep-sea.
