Query: NC_016745:2028424 Oceanimonas sp. GK1 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Oceanimonas; Oceanimonas; Aeromonadaceae; Aeromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: Oceanimonas sp. (strain GK1) is an aerobic, marine halotolerant, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from Gavkhouni Wetland in Iran. It is a motile bacterium which can tolerate up to 12% NaCl. It grows at tempatures between 10 to 45 degrees C with an optimum at 35 degrees C and at pH between 6 to 10 with an optimum at 8. Oceanimonas sp. produces large amounts of poly-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) as a carbon and energy reservoir under unbalanced growth conditions. PHB is a biodegradable and renewable biosynthetic polymer which can be used in medicine, tissue engineering, and packaging materials.

General Information: Chromohalobacter salexigens DSM 3043 was first isolated from a solar salt facility on Bonaire Island, Netherlands Antilles. A moderate halophile which can grow on a variety of salts. This bacterium is a moderate halophile, yet does not require high concentrations of sodium chloride. The salt requirements of this organism can be met by ions of other salts, such as potassium, rubidium, ammonium, bromide. Several plasmids have been isolated from this organism. Plasmid pMH1 contains genes for resistance to kanamycin, neomycin, and tetracycline. A smaller plasmid, pHE1, which does not code for antibiotic resistance genes, has also been isolated.
