Idiomarina sp. H105 Genome sequencing and assembly. Idiomarina sp. H105

The draft genome sequence of strain H105 was about 6.1M, the strain H105 was isolated from Erba brine-seawater interface of Red Sea. Deep-sea brine pools are the least explored biosphere on Earth, with many extreme features such as hypersaline, high concentrations of heavy metals, and steep gradients, which harbor numerous distinctive heterotrophic microbial communities, some of which presenting novel phyla specific to the deep-sea brines and these brines have been a long-term target for the study of halophilic microbiota, the isolation and characterization of new extreme representative microbes from the brine-filled Deeps will significantly advance our understanding of the in situ metabolisms, energy producing processes and environmental adaptive activities in the distinctly harsh habitats.

H105菌株的草图基因组序列（draft genome sequence）长度约为6.1 Mb，该菌株分离自红海Erba卤水与海水的交界面。深海卤水池是地球上勘探程度最低的生物圈，兼具高盐度、高重金属含量与陡峭环境梯度等诸多极端特征，其栖息着大量独特的异养微生物群落，其中不乏深海卤水特有的新菌门类群。此类卤水长期以来都是嗜盐微生物群落（halophilic microbiota）研究的重点对象，而从充满卤水的深海环境中分离并鉴定新型极端代表性微生物，将极大地推动我们对这类极端严苛生境中原位代谢、能量产生过程以及环境适应机制的认知。
