Genome sequencing revealed a 3.6-Mbp genome and a 35.5-kbp plasmid in halophilic bacterium, suggesting unique adaptations.
Salinibacter ruber strain M31 T , an extremely halophilic bacterium, was isolated from a saltern crystallizer pond in Spain. Single-molecule real-time sequencing revealed a 3.6-Mbp genome with a single 3.55-Mbp circular chromosome and a 35.5-kbp plasmid. The highly acidic proteome includes a total of 2,962 proteins, some of which are archaeal-like.
