Query: 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.

General Information: Gram-negative, rod-shaped aerobe. Polyphosphate accumulating bacterium. This species was isolated from an anaerobic-aerobic sequential batch reactor operated under enhanced biological phosphorus removal conditions for wastewater treatment. The isolation strategy used targeted slowly growing polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria by combining low-speed centrifugations and prolonged incubation on a low-nutrient medium. This is the first isolated species in the Gemmatimonadetes phylum.
