High quality draft genome sequence of the heavy metal resistant bacterium Halomonas zincidurans type strain B6T
نویسندگان
چکیده
Halomonas zincidurans strain B6(T) was isolated from a deep-sea heavy metal rich sediment from the South Atlantic Mid-Ocean Ridge. The strain showed significant resistance to heavy metals, especially to zinc. Here we describe the genome sequence and annotation, as well as the features, of the organism. The genome contains 3,325 protein-coding genes (2,848 with predicted functions), 61 tRNA genes and 6 rRNA genes. H. zincidurans strain B6(T) encodes 31 genes related to heavy metal resistance. And HGT may play an important role in its adaption to the heavy metal rich environment. H. zincidurans strain B6(T) may have potential applications in the bioremediation of heavy metal-contaminated environments.

متن کاملHalomonas zincidurans sp. nov., a heavy-metal-tolerant bacterium isolated from the deep-sea environment.
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-like, motile by peritrichous flagella and moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain B6(T), was isolated a deep-sea sediment collected from the South Atlantic Ocean. The isolate grew with 0.5-15 % (w/v) NaCl, at 4-37 °C and pH 5.0-8.5 and showed a high tolerance to zinc, manganese, cobalt and copper ions. The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C19 : 0 cy...
متن کاملHigh quality draft genome sequence of the slightly halophilic bacterium Halomonas zhanjiangensis type strain JSM 078169T (DSM 21076T) from a sea urchin in southern China
Halomonas zhanjiangensis Chen et al. 2009 is a member of the genus Halomonas, family Halomonadaceae, class Gammaproteobacteria. Representatives of the genus Halomonas are a group of halophilic bacteria often isolated from salty environments. The type strain H. zhanjiangensis JSM 078169(T) was isolated from a sea urchin (Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus) collected from the South China Sea. The genome ...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of the Moderately Halophilic Gammaproteobacterium Halomonas anticariensis FP35T
Halomonas anticariensis strain FP35(T) is a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from a soil sample taken from Fuente de Piedra, a saline wetland in the province of Málaga (Spain), which produces an exopolysaccharide and quorum-sensing signaling molecules of the type N-acylhomoserine lactone. We report here the draft genome sequence of this gammaproteobacterium.
