Draft Genome Sequence of the Anaerobic Arsenite-Oxidizing Halomonas sp. Strain ANAO-440, Isolated from an Alkaline Saline Lake in Khovsgol, Mongolia

Natsuko Hamamura et al. Microbiol Resour Announc. .

Abstract

The draft genome sequence of Halomonas sp. strain ANAO-440 contains 3,866 predicted protein-coding sequences. This strain is capable of anaerobic arsenite oxidation and encodes an arxA-type arsenite oxidase within the arxB2AB1CD gene island. This genome sequence provides valuable information regarding the physiological diversity of Arx-dependent arsenite-oxidizing microorganisms.
