Genome sequence of a hyperhalophilic archaea, which has capability of polyester degradation.

We isolated a hyperhalophilic archaea genome that degrade PHB. So far there is no reports on archaea that degrade PHB in spite of that bacteria and fungi that degrade it have been reported.The genome was analyzed by NGS.本研究分离获得一株可降解聚-β-羟基丁酸酯（PHB）的嗜高盐古菌的基因组。截至目前，尽管已有关于细菌与真菌可降解PHB的相关报道，但尚未见可降解PHB的古菌的相关研究报道。该基因组已通过下一代测序（Next-Generation Sequencing，NGS）完成解析。
