Genome Sequence of Salarchaeum sp. Strain JOR-1, an Extremely Halophilic Archaeon from the Dead Sea.

ABSTRACT: An extremely halophilic archaeon, Salarchaeum sp. strain JOR-1, was isolated from the east coast of the Dead Sea, Kingdom of Jordan, and sequenced using single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing. The GC-rich 2.5-Mbp genome was composed of a circular chromosome and a megaplasmid. The genome contained 2,633 genes and was incorporated into HaloWeb (https://halo.umbc.edu/).

Genome sequence of Haloarcula marismortui: a halophilic archaeon from the Dead Sea.

Project description:We report the complete sequence of the 4,274,642-bp genome of Haloarcula marismortui, a halophilic archaeal isolate from the Dead Sea. The genome is organized into nine circular replicons of varying G+C compositions ranging from 54% to 62%. Comparison of the genome architectures of Halobacterium sp. NRC-1 and H. marismortui suggests a common ancestor for the two organisms and a genome of significantly reduced size in the former. Both of these halophilic archaea use the same strategy of high surface negative charge of folded proteins as means to circumvent the salting-out phenomenon in a hypersaline cytoplasm. A multitiered annotation approach, including primary sequence similarities, protein family signatures, structure prediction, and a protein function association network, has assigned putative functions for at least 58% of the 4242 predicted proteins, a far larger number than is usually achieved in most newly sequenced microorganisms. Among these assigned functions were genes encoding six opsins, 19 MCP and/or HAMP domain signal transducers, and an unusually large number of environmental response regulators-nearly five times as many as those encoded in Halobacterium sp. NRC-1--suggesting H. marismortui is significantly more physiologically capable of exploiting diverse environments. In comparing the physiologies of the two halophilic archaea, in addition to the expected extensive similarity, we discovered several differences in their metabolic strategies and physiological responses such as distinct pathways for arginine breakdown in each halophile. Finally, as expected from the larger genome, H. marismortui encodes many more functions and seems to have fewer nutritional requirements for survival than does Halobacterium sp. NRC-1.

Genome sequence of Halorubrum sp. strain T3, an extremely halophilic archaeon harboring a virus-like element.

Project description:Halorubrum sp. strain T3, harboring a virus-like element, was isolated from a sample collected from a solar saltern in Yunnan, China. Several strains of Halorubrum pleomorphic viruses were reported in this genus recently; however, the virus-host interaction in haloarchaea remains unclear. To explore this issue, here we present the genome sequence of Halorubrum sp. strain T3 (3,168,011 bp, 68.48% G+C content).

Complete Genome Sequence of the Extremely Halophilic Archaeon Haloarcula hispanica Strain N601.

Project description:Haloarcula hispanica has been widely used in haloarchaeal studies, particularly in the isolation of haloviruses. The genome of strain N601, a laboratory derivative of the type strain ATCC 33960, was sequenced. Several potentially significant differences from the published sequence of the type strain (CGMCC 1.2049 = ATCC 33960) were observed.

Draft genome sequence of the extremely halophilic archaeon Haladaptatus cibarius type strain D43(T) isolated from fermented seafood.

Project description:An extremely halophilic archaeon, Haladaptatus cibarius D43(T), was isolated from traditional Korean salt-rich fermented seafood. Strain D43(T) shows the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.7 %) with Haladaptatus litoreus RO1-28(T), is Gram-negative staining, motile, and extremely halophilic. Despite potential industrial applications of extremely halophilic archaea, their genome characteristics remain obscure. Here, we describe the whole genome sequence and annotated features of strain D43(T). The 3,926,724 bp genome includes 4,092 protein-coding and 57 RNA genes (including 6 rRNA and 49 tRNA genes) with an average G + C content of 57.76 %.

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.
