The genus Natronomonas contains two species, one haloalkaliphile (N. pharaonis) and one neutrophile (N. moolapensis). Here, we report the genome sequence of N. moolapensis strain 8.8.11. The overall genome properties are similar for the two species. Only the neutrophile contains bacteriorhodopsin and a membrane glycolipid.

Article Synopsis
- A new archaeon named MBLA0158 was discovered in a solar saltern in Korea, characterized by its red pigmentation and ability to thrive in highly saline environments.
- * The strain grows best at temperatures of 37°C and in 20% salt concentration, and molecular analysis shows it is closely related to Halobellus inordinatus with 96% genetic similarity.
- * It is proposed as a new species, Halobellus rubicundus sp. nov., based on unique genetic features and a distinct genomic profile.
Global Distribution and Diversity of Haloarchaeal pL6-Family Plasmids.
Genes (Basel)

Computational Systems Biochemistry, Max-Planck-Institute of Biochemistry, 82152 Martinsried, Germany.
Australian isolates of , a square-shaped haloarchaeon, often harbor small cryptic plasmids of the pL6-family, approximately 6 kb in size, and five examples have been previously described. These plasmids exhibit a highly conserved gene arrangement and encode replicases similar to those of betapleolipoviruses. To assess their global distribution and recover more examples for analysis, fifteen additional plasmids were reconstructed from the metagenomes of seven hypersaline sites across four countries: Argentina, Australia, Puerto Rico, and Spain.

The model haloarchaeon is polyploid with about 20 copies of its major chromosome. Recently it has been described that highly efficient intermolecular gene conversion operates in to equalize the chromosomal copies. In the current study, 24 genes were selected that encode proteins with orthologs involved in gene conversion or homologous recombination in archaea, bacteria, or eukaryotes.

In this study, we use pan-genomics to characterize the genomic variability of the widely dispersed halophilic archaeal species ). We include a multi-regional sampling of newly sequenced, high-quality draft genomes. The pan-genome graph of the species reveals 50 genomic islands that represent rare accessory genetic capabilities available to members.
