Draft Genome Sequence of Cobetia sp. UCD-24C, Isolated from Roots and Leaves of the Seagrass Zostera marina.

Here, we present the 4,230,758-bp draft genome for Cobetia sp. UCD-24C. This strain was isolated from Zostera marina roots collected in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Pseudoalteromonas Strains Isolated from Roots and Leaf Blades of the Seagrass Zostera marina.

Here, we present the draft genome sequences for Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain UCD-33C and Pseudoalteromonas lipolytica UCD-48B. Pseudoalteromonas sp.

Microbial Mat Communities along an Oxygen Gradient in a Perennially Ice-Covered Antarctic Lake.

Lake Fryxell is a perennially ice-covered lake in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, with a sharp oxycline in a water column that is density stabilized by a gradient in salt concentration. Dissolved oxygen falls from 20 mg liter(-1) to undetectable over one vertical meter from 8.9- to 9.

Phylogenetically driven sequencing of extremely halophilic archaea reveals strategies for static and dynamic osmo-response.

Organisms across the tree of life use a variety of mechanisms to respond to stress-inducing fluctuations in osmotic conditions. Cellular response mechanisms and phenotypes associated with osmoadaptation also play important roles in bacterial virulence, human health, agricultural production and many other biological systems. To improve understanding of osmoadaptive strategies, we have generated 59 high-quality draft genomes for the haloarchaea (a euryarchaeal clade whose members thrive in hypersaline environments and routinely experience drastic changes in environmental salinity) and analyzed these new genomes in combination with those from 21 previously sequenced haloarchaeal isolates.
