(Russian Academy of Sciences) Contributor Whitman, William (editor) Date 2023 Abstract Na.tro.no.cel’la; N.L. neut. n. natron (arbitrarily derived from the Arabic n. natrun or natron), soda, sodium carbonate; N.L. pref. natrono-, pertaining to soda; L. fem. n. cella, a room, a cell in biology; N.L. fem. n. Natronocella, a soda-loving cell.The genus Natronocella comprise aerobic heterotrophs that utilizes short-chain nitriles and their corresponding fatty acids and amides as energy, carbon,and nitrogen sources. Natronocella is a moderately salt-tolerant, chloride-independent obligate alkaliphile inhabiting soda lakes in Central Asia. The genus currently includes a single species N. acetinitrilica. It was originally classified as a member of the family Ectothiorhodospiraceae, order Chromatiales, class Gammaproteobacteria, but more recent phylogenomic analyses classify it in the proposed order “Nitrococcales” and family “Aquisalimonadaceae.” DNA G+C content (%): 63.0 (genome sequence).Type species: Natronocella acetinitrilica Sorokin et al. 2007, VL116.
