Abstract: 

Sa.la'na. N.L. fem. n. Salana referring to the German river Saale, the source of the bioreactor culture.

Actinobacteria / Actinobacteria / Micrococcales / Beutenbergiaceae / Salana

The genus Salana is mono-specific and placed based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny into the family Beutenbergiaceae with 95.6–96.3% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the species of the other genera of the family. Cells of the genus are irregular rods and cocci, sometimes club-like formed. Gram-stain-positive. Facultatively anaerobic. Reduce anaerobically selenate to elemental selenium. A variety of organic electron donors may be utilized. The peptidoglycan is of the A4β type with an l-Orn ← l-Glu interpeptide bridge and an l-Ser residue at position 1 of the peptide subunit. The polar lipids are phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, and several unidentified phospholipids in minor amounts. The fatty acid pattern is of the iso and anteiso branched and straight chain saturated type. The major menaquinone is MK-8(H4). The genomic G+C content is 75 mol%.
