Conclusion
The genome of Haliscomenobacter hydrossis is the first completed genome sequence reported from the family Saprospiraceae.
Supporting Evidence
- Haliscomenobacter hydrossis is the type species of the genus Haliscomenobacter.
- The genome is 8,771,651 base pairs long and contains 6,848 protein-coding genes.
- The organism grows in fresh water and has a unique hyaline sheath.
Takeaway
Scientists sequenced the complete DNA of a tiny water-dwelling bacterium called Haliscomenobacter hydrossis to learn more about it.
Methodology
The genome was sequenced using a combination of Illumina and 454 sequencing platforms.
