Abstract

Isolated from Aran-Bidgol Lake in Iran, and reported here, Halorubrum ezzemoulense strain Fb21 represents the first complete genome from this archaeal species. Local recombination in this genome is in stark contrast to equidistant recombination events in bacteria. The genome's GC bias, however, points to a genome architecture and origin that resemble those of a bacterium. Its availability, genome signatures, and frequent intragenomic recombination mean that Fb21 presents an attractive model organism for this species.

Analyses of the Halorubrum ezzemoulense Fb21 chromosome. (a) Nucmer comparison of H. ezzemoulense Fb21 (x axis) to H. lacusprofundi ATCC 9239 (y axis). Plus-strand best hits are shown in purple, while minus-strand best hits are shown in blue. Axis units are the chromosomal base positions. (b) The orange line represents cumulative C occurrences minus G occurrences (C − G) throughout the Fb21 chromosome, starting at the predicted main origin of replication. Values are calculated by subtracting the number of Gs encountered from the number of Cs at each chromosomal location. The blue line represents cumulative C − G strand bias in a 500,000-bp rolling window, calculated by the same method.
