Single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing revealed a 2.4-Mbp genome with a 2.0-Mbp chromosome and four plasmids (2 to 299 kb). Its isolation from an environment experiencing multiple extremes makes the strain interesting for astrobiology.enPlasmidStrain (injury)GenomeBiologyWhole genome sequencingChromosomeGeneticsIsolation (microbiology)Circular bacterial chromosomeGeneGenome Sequence of Halobacterium sp.
