Complete Genome Sequence of an Extremely Halophilic Archaeon from Great Salt Lake,
Halobacterium
sp. GSL-19
Keyword(s):
An extremely halophilic archaeon, Halobacterium sp. strain GSL-19, was isolated from the north arm of Great Salt Lake in Utah. Single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing was used to establish a GC-rich 2.3-Mbp genome composed of a circular chromosome and 2 plasmids, with 2,367 predicted genes, including 1 coding a CTAG-methylase widely distributed among Haloarchaea .
