Title: High-quality permanent draft genome sequence of the extremely osmotolerant diphenol degrading bacterium Halotalea alkalilenta AW-7T, and emended description of the genus Halotalea

Abstract

Members of the genus Halotalea (family Halomonadaceae) are of high significance since they can tolerate the greatest glucose and maltose concentrations ever reported for known bacteria and are involved in the degradation of industrial effluents. Here, the characteristics and the permanent-draft genome sequence and annotation of Halotalea alkalilenta AW-7T are described. The microorganism was sequenced as a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Type Strains, Phase I: the one thousand microbial genomes (KMG) project at the DOE Joint Genome Institute, and it is the only strain within the genus Halotalea having its genome sequenced. The genome is 4,467,826 bp long and consists of 40 scaffolds with 64.62 % average GC content. A total of 4,104 genes were predicted, comprising of 4,028 protein-coding and 76 RNA genes. Most protein-coding genes (87.79 %) were assigned to a putative function. Halotalea alkalilenta AW-7T encodes the catechol and protocatechuate degradation to β-ketoadipate via the β-ketoadipate and protocatechuate ortho-cleavage degradation pathway, and it possesses the genetic ability to detoxify fluoroacetate, cyanate and acrylonitrile. Lastly, an emended description of the genus Halotalea Ntougias et al. 2007 is also provided in order to describe the delayed fermentation ability of the type strain.

Fig. 1 Fig. 1: Phylogenetic tree displaying the position of H. alkalilenta AW-7T among the type strains of other species within the Halomonadaceae. The tree was inferred from 1152 aligned characters of the 16S rRNA gene sequence under the maximum likelihood (ML) criterion. Tree branches are constructed on the basis of themore » expected number of substitutions per site. Values above branches denote support values from 100 ML bootstrap replicates. Members of different genera within the Halomonadaceae are depicted in different fonts color. Lineages with strain genome sequencing projects registered in GOLD are labeled with one asterisk, and those also listed as ‘Complete and Published’ with two asterisks« less
