Query: NC_011899:2286884 Halothermothrix orenii H 168, complete genome

Lineage: Halothermothrix orenii; Halothermothrix; Halanaerobiaceae; Halanaerobiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: Thermophillic halophile. Halothermothrix orenii H 168 was isolated from the sediment of a salt lake in Tunisia. This organism is a member of a group of anaerobic halophilic bacteria related to the Clostridia. This organism is a thermophile and therefore is able to grow in hot anaerobic saline environments.

Subject: NC_008212:61567 Haloquadratum walsbyi DSM 16790, complete genome

Lineage: Haloquadratum walsbyi; Haloquadratum; Halobacteriaceae; Halobacteriales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: A uniquely square archaeon. This hyperhalophile is of specific interest because of its unique square shape and extraordinarily large size (40m x 40m). Its culture conditions were optimized in 2004.
