被引用回数：26 パーセンタイル：50.57(Microbiology)A pink pigmented, non-motile, coccoid bacterial strain, ST0316, was isolated from dust samples collected from the stratosphere in Japan. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that it belonged to the genus 
. DNA G+C content, desiccation tolerance, and resistance to 
-rays and UV radiation supported the affiliation of strain ST0316 to the genus . Strain ST0316 diverged from recognized species of the genus , showing less than 93% similarity values to its closest relatives

被引用回数：32 パーセンタイル：56.58(Microbiology)日本の高度大気圏で収集した塵から、橙色の色素を持ち運動性のない球菌TR0125株が分離された。16S rRNA遺伝子をもとにした系統解析によってこの菌はデイノコッカス属細菌であることが示された。強い乾燥耐性,UV耐性,線耐性及び高いGC含量は、この菌株がデイノコッカス属細菌であることを支持している。TR0125株は、デイノコッカス・アパチェンシスの標準菌株の16S rRNA遺伝子配列と最も高い類似性(95.7%)をもち、系統解析の結果は、TR0125株が、デイノコッカス・ジオサーマリス以上に、デイノコッカス・アパチェンシスと進化的に離れていることを示しており、このことは、TR0125株がこれら2種のデイノコッカス属細菌に属するものではないことを表している。他にも、TR0125株と上記2種のデイノコッカス属細菌の標準菌株との間には、幾つかの表現型に違いがあった。よって、われわれは今回分離した菌株に適合するものとして、新種デイノコッカス・アエリウスという名前を提案する。

We isolated two novel species of the genus , one from top of troposphere () and the other from bottom of stratosphere (
). Can these newly isolated bacterial species and strains survive harsher environment such as space environment and/or other astronomical objects such as Mars? To address these questions, we have analyzed the survival of these microbial species and strains under the extreme conditions. Environment at high altitude is extreme for microorganisms not only because of high UV radiation, but also other stresses such as extreme dryness. To clarify how dryness affects to the survivability of microorganisms, we examined the effects of desiccation and high humidity on survival and DNA double strand breaks (DSB) of 
, 
and spores of 
. They exhibited different survival rates and DSB patterns under desiccation and high humidity. Higher survival and less DSB occurred at lower temperatures. Spores of 
showed the highest survivability at each condition. Survivability of at desiccation condition is higher than that at the humid condition, although survivability of 
at desiccation condition is lower than that at the humid condition. We also tested the effects of various factors on survivability of spp. Together with tests under desiccation condition, these test results suggested that spp. which we tested can survive in space for years.
