Draft genomes of the type strains of Halomonas spp

Halomonas bacteria are known as halophiles that have been isolated from diverse marine and hypersaline environments including in polar regions. In the culture center of Polar and Alpine Microbial Collection (PAMC), many strains of polar Halomonas spp. are deposited and are subject to genome analysis for understanding apdaptions of the microorganisms against cold and saline environments. In this study, draft genomes of the three type strains of Halomonas spp. (H. caseinilytica JCM 14802T, H. halodurans DSM 5160T and H. sinaiensis DSM 18067T) were obtained for comparative genomics among polar and non-polar Halomonas bacteria.
To establish a database of genomes for halophile Halomonas bacteria.
