Intraspecific comparative analysis of the species Salinibacter ruber
Salinibacter ruber is the first extremely halophilic member of the Bacteria domain of proven environmental relevance in hypersaline brines at or approaching NaCl saturation, that has been brought to pure culture. A collection of 17 strains isolated from five different geographical locations (Mallorca, Alicante, Ebro Delta, Canary Islands, and Peruvian Andes) were studied following the currently accepted taxonomic approach. Additionally, random amplification of genomic DNA led to the phenetic analysis of the intraspecific diversity. Altogether the taxonomic study indicated that S. ruber remained highly homogeneous beyond any geographical barrier. However, genomic fingerprints indicated that populations from different isolation sites could still be discriminated
Genome Sequence of Brachybacterium squillarum M-6-3T, Isolated from Salt-Fermented Seafood
Brachybacterium squillarum M-6-3T was isolated from salt-fermented seafood in Korea and belongs to the Dermabacteraceae, a rather isolated family within the actinobacterial suborder Micrococcineae. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of the type strain Brachybacterium squillarum M-6-3T (3,191,479 bp), a Gram-positive bacterium with high (72.8%) G+C content
