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

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. I...

Description
Summary: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 .
