Draft Genome Sequence Of Natranaerobius Trueperi Dsm 18760(T), An Anaerobic, Halophilic, Alkaliphilic, Thermotolerant Bacterium Isolated From A Soda Lake

The anaerobic, halophilic, alkaliphilic, thermotolerant bacterium Natranaerobius trueperi was isolated from a soda lake in Wadi An Natrun, Egypt. It grows optimally at 3.7 M Na+, pH 9.5, and 43 degrees C. The draft genome consists of 2.63 Mb and is composed of 2,681 predicted genes. Genomic analysis showed that various genes are potentially involved in the adaptation mechanisms for osmotic stress, pH homeostasis, and high temperatures.
