Project description:The genome of the green sulfur bacterium Prosthecochloris sp. strain HL-130-GSB, isolated from a cyanobacterial mat obtained from Hot Lake, a saline meromictic lake in Washington, USA, comprises 2,437,774 bp in a single contig. The genome is predicted to encode 2,565 proteins and contain 47 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA operons.
Project description:A new deep-sea epimeriid, Epimeria abyssalis is described from the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, in the northwestern Pacific. This species differs from its congeners in having a short rostrum and a telson with deep and narrow Y-shaped excavation. Epimeria abyssalis is the deepest recorded Epimeria species. A key to the north Pacific species of Epimeria is provided.
