abstract = {Research on halophilic microorganisms is important due to
their relation to fundamental questions of survival of
living organisms in a hostile environment. Here we introduce
a novel method to stain halophiles with MitoTracker
fluorescent dyes in their growth medium. The method is based
on membrane-potential sensitive dyes, which were originally
used to label mitochondria in eukaryotic cells. We
demonstrate that these fluorescent dyes provide high
staining efficiency and are beneficial for multi-staining
purposes due to the spectral range covered (from orange to
deep red). In contrast with other fluorescent dyes used so
far, MitoTracker does not affect growth rate, and remains in
cells after several washing steps and several generations in
cell culture. The suggested dyes were tested on three
archaeal (Hbt. salinarum, Haloferax sp., Halorubrum sp.) and
two bacterial (Salicola sp., Halomonas sp.) strains of
halophilic microorganisms. The new staining approach
provides new insights into biology of Hbt. salinarum. We
demonstrated the interconversion of rod-shaped cells of Hbt.
salinarium to spheroplasts and submicron-sized spheres, as
well as the cytoplasmic integrity of giant rod Hbt.
salinarum species. By expanding the variety of tools
available for halophile detection, MitoTracker dyes overcome
long-standing limitations in fluorescence microscopy studies
of halophiles.},
