Complete genome sequence of the Antarctic Halorubrum lacusprofundi type strain ACAM 34

Iain J Anderson et al. Stand Genomic Sci. .

Abstract

Halorubrum lacusprofundi is an extreme halophile within the archaeal phylum Euryarchaeota. The type strain ACAM 34 was isolated from Deep Lake, Antarctica. H. lacusprofundi is of phylogenetic interest because it is distantly related to the haloarchaea that have previously been sequenced. It is also of interest because of its psychrotolerance. We report here the complete genome sequence of H. lacusprofundi type strain ACAM 34 and its annotation. This genome is part of a 2006 Joint Genome Institute Community Sequencing Program project to sequence genomes of diverse Archaea.

Keywords: Archaea; Cold adaptation; Extremophile; Halophile; Halorubrum; Tree of life.

Phylogenetic tree of DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit A’ of select haloarchaea. Sequence alignment and tree construction were carried out with Clustal W [39]. The tree was visualized with njplot [40]. Positions with gaps were excluded during tree construction. Methanosarcina acetivorans was used as the outgroup. The numbers indicate bootstrap values based on 1000 replicates
