High level of intergenera gene exchange shapes the evolution of haloarchaea in an isolated Antarctic lake
Deep Lake in Antarctica is a globally isolated, hypersaline systemthat remains liquid at temperatures down to −20 C. By analyzingmetagenome data and genomes of four isolates we assessed genomevariation and patterns of gene exchange to learn how thelake community evolved. The lake is completely and u...

Deep Lake in Antarctica is a globally isolated, hypersaline systemthat remains liquid at temperatures down to −20 C. By analyzingmetagenome data and genomes of four isolates we assessed genomevariation and patterns of gene exchange to learn how thelake community evolved. The lake is completely and uniformlydominated by haloarchaea, comprising a hierarchically structured,low-complexity community that differs greatly to temperate andtropical hypersaline environments. The four Deep Lake isolatesrepresent distinct genera (∼85% 16S rRNA gene similarity and∼73% genome average nucleotide identity) with genomic characteristicsindicative of niche adaptation, and collectively account for∼72% of the cellular community. Network analysis revealed a remarkablelevel of intergenera gene exchange, including the sharingof long contiguous regions (up to 35 kb) of high identity(∼100%). Although the genomes of closely related Halobacterium,Haloquadratum, and Haloarcula (>90% average nucleotide identity)shared regions of high identity between species or strains, thefour Deep Lake isolates were the only distantly related haloarchaeato share long high-identity regions. Moreover, the Deep Lakehigh-identity regions did not match to any other hypersaline environmentmetagenome data. The most abundant species, tADL,appears to play a central role in the exchange of insertion sequences,but not the exchange of high-identity regions.
