Draft Genome Sequence of the Extremely Halophilic Phototrophic Purple Sulfur Bacterium Halorhodospira halochloris.

ABSTRACT: Halorhodospira halochloris is an extremely halophilic bacterium isolated from hypersaline Wadi Nantrun lakes in Egypt. Here we report the draft genome sequence of this gammaproteobacteria (GI number: 589289709, GenBank Accession number: CP007268). The 3.5-Mb genome encodes for photosynthesis and biosynthesis of organic osmoprotectants. Comparison with the genome of H.halophila promises to yield insights into the evolution of halophilic adaptations.

Draft genome sequence and overview of the purple non sulfur bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris 42OL.

Project description:Rhodopseudomonas palustris strain 42OL was isolated in 1973 from a sugar refinery waste treatment pond. The strain has been prevalently used for hydrogen production processes using a wide variety of waste-derived substrates, and cultured both indoors and outdoors, either freely suspended or immobilized. R. palustris 42OL was suitable for many other applications and capable of growing in very different culturing conditions, revealing a wide metabolic versatility. The analysis of the genome sequence allowed to identify the metabolic pathways for hydrogen and poly-?-hydroxy-butyrate production, and confirmed the ability of using a wide range of organic acids as substrates.

Draft genome sequence of the moderately halophilic bacterium Halobacillus sp. BBL2006.

Project description:We present the draft genome sequence of Halobacillus sp. BBL2006, a moderately halophilic, gram positive bacterium isolated from a sulfidic salt spring in Big Bone Lick State Park, Boone County, Kentucky. The genome of Halobacillus sp. BBL2006 was 3,988,138 bp in length with a GC content of 41.6%. Genome analysis identified 4331 open reading frames including genes for antibiotic resistance and tolerance to heavy metals. The draft genome was deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank (DNA Databank of Japan/European Molecular Biology Laboratory/Genbank) (JRNX00000000).

High quality draft genome sequence of an extremely halophilic archaeon Natrinema altunense strain AJ2T.

Project description:Natrinema altunense strain AJ2T, a halophilic archaeal strain, was isolated from a high-altitude (3884 m) salt lake in Xinjiang, China. This strain requires at least 1.7 M NaCl to grow and can grow anaerobically in the presence of nitrate. To understand the genetics underlying its extreme phenotype, we de novo assembled the entire genome sequence of AJ2T (=CGMCC 1.3731T=JCM 12890T). We assembled 3,774,135 bp of a total of 4.4 Mb genome in only 20 contigs and noted its high GC content (64.6%). Subsequently we predicted the gene content and generated genome annotation to identify the relationship between the epigenetic characteristics and genomic features. The genome sequence contains 52 tRNA genes, 3 rRNA genes and 4,462 protein-coding genes, 3792 assigned as functional or hypothetical proteins in nr database. This Whole Genome Shotgun project was deposited in DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession JNCS00000000. We performed a Bayesian (Maximum-Likelihood) phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA sequence and obtained its relationship to other strains in the Natrinema and Haloterrigena genera. We also confirmed the ANI value between every two species of Natrinema and Haloterrigena genera. In conclusion, our analysis furthered our understanding of the extreme-environment adapted strain AJ2T by characterizing its genome structure, gene content and phylogenetic placement. Our detailed case study will contribute to our overall understanding of why Natrinema strains can survive in such a high-altitude salt lake.

First Evidence of Dehydroabietic Acid Production by a Marine Phototrophic Gammaproteobacterium, the Purple Sulfur Bacterium Allochromatium vinosum MT86.

Project description:The production of secondary metabolites by a new isolate of the purple sulfur bacterium Allochromatium vinosum, which had shown antibiotic activities during a preliminary study, revealed the production of several metabolites. Growth conditions suitable for the production of one of the compounds shown in the metabolite profile were established and compound 1 was purified. The molecular formula of compound 1 (C20H28O?) was determined by high resolution mass spectra, and its chemical structure by means of spectroscopic methods. The evaluation of these data revealed that the structure of the compound was identical to dehydroabietic acid, a compound known to be characteristically produced by conifer trees, but so far not known from bacteria, except cyanobacteria. The purified substance showed weak antibiotic activities against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus lentus with IC50 values of 70.5 µM (±2.9) and 57.0 µM (±3.3), respectively.
