Project description:We announce here the draft genome sequence of Halomonas hydrothermalis MTCC 5445, a halophilic bacterium of the class Gammaproteobacteria. It was isolated from the sea coast of Aadri, Veraval, Gujarat, India. Its genome contains genes for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biodegradable polymer that can be used as a substitute for petroleum plastics.
Project description:We have identified differentially expressed genes according to hydrostatic pressure growth conditions in Desulfovibrio hydrothermalis. The transcriptomic datasets report the molecular mechanisms which could be involved in such adaptation and give information for the piezophile sulfate-reducing bacteria research communities. The data obtained pointed out a gradual response of D. hydrothermalis to an increase of hydrostatic pressure, with a threshold above 10 MPa and the involvement of a quite limited number of genes and/or pathways involved in the adaptation to hydrostatic pressure.
