Abstract
Growth in the presence of vanadate and dissimilatory vanadate reduction under alkaline conditions were shown for a number of haloalkaliphilic Halomonas strains. Vanadate, which contains five-valent vanadium, was reduced to four- or three-valent compounds. Nitrate reductase plays the key role in vanadate reduction under alkaline conditions. The compounds containing reduced vanadium were obtained in crystalline form.
