Complete genome sequence of Haloarcula hispanica, a Model Haloarchaeon for studying genetics, metabolism, and virus-host interaction

J Bacteriol. 2011 Nov;193(21):6086-7. doi: 10.1128/JB.05953-11.

Abstract

Haloarcula hispanica is an extremely halophilic archaeon that has an unusually low restriction barrier and is therefore significant for studying archaeal genetics, metabolism, and virus-host interactions. Here we report the complete genome sequence (3,890,005 bp) of H. hispanica strain CGMCC 1.2049, consisting of two chromosomes and one megaplasmid.
