Abstract:The genome of Halobacterium strain 63-R2 was recently reported and
provides the opportunity to resolve long-standing issues regarding the
source of two widely used model strains of Hbt. salinarum, NRC-1 and R1.
Strain 63-R2 was isolated in 1934 from a salted buffalo hide (epithet
‘cutirubra’), along with another strain from a salted cowhide (91-R6T,
epithet ‘salinaria’, the type strain of Halobacterium salinarum). Both
strains belong to the same species according to genome-based taxonomy
analysis (TYGS), with … Show more
