a b s t r a c t The extremely halophilic archaeon, Halorubrum halophilum B8T (=JCM 18963T, CECT 8278T) was isolated from salt-fermented seafood. We report here the draft genome of H. halophilum B8T, containing 3,677,984 bp with a G + C content of 65.1%. The genome consists of 19 genes predicted to encode esterases. © 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.

1. Introduction Halophiles have potentially valuable physiological properties to grow at high salt concentrations; they also produce commercially useful hydrolases that are activated in highly saline environments (Ventosa et al., 1998). The genus Halorubrum, proposed by McGenity and Grant (1995) as a member of the family Halobacteriaceae that is considered extremely halophilic archaea, currently comprises 27 species (http:// www.bacterio.net/halorubrum.html). Halorubrum halophilum B8T (= JCM 18963T, CECT 8278T), isolated from salt-fermented seafood made from shrimp, can grow at 15–30% (w/v) NaCl, with maximum growth at 25% NaCl and is an aerobic and red-pigmented haloarchaeon (Yim et al., 2014). This strain was reported to hydrolyze Tween 20, 40, and 80 under conditions of high salinity, suggesting the presence of an esterase with lipolytic activity. Esterases are used in the food industry for the production or enrichment of flavor, particularly in cheeserelated products (Choi and Lee, 2001). These esterases produce flavor by the transformation of low-value fats and oils (Panda and Gowrishankar, 2005). Moreover, esterases are used in pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of chiral drugs (Panda and Gowrishankar, 2005). Here the genome sequence of H. halophilum is reported for the

general sequence information of halophilic enzymes that may have potential applications in industry. H. halophilum B8T genomic DNA was extracted using the G-spin Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (iNtRON Biotechnology, Seongnam, Korea) and the sequence was determined using the Illumina MiSeq system (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. A total of 9,978,008 reads were generated (with 570.15-fold coverage of the genome) using CLC Genomics Workbench 7.0.4 (CLC Bio, Aarhus, Denmark). The sequences were assembled into 103 contigs with an N50 contig size of approximately 98 kb and annotated using RNAmmer 1.2 (Lagesen et al., 2007), tRNA scan-SE 1.21 (Lowe and Eddy, 1997), Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology (RAST) pipeline (Aziz et al., 2008), and CLgenomics program (http://www. chunlab.com/genomics). The H. halophilum B8T draft genome was 3,677,984 bp in length, with a G + C content of 65.1%; the genome was predicted to include 4292 open reading frames (ORFs) and encodes 3 rRNA and 54 tRNA genes (Table 1). By functional categories based on COG (http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/COG/), a total of 98 genes were annotated as carbohydrate transport and metabolism genes and 387 were predicted to have general functions. Additionally, 19 genes were predicted to encode esterases, including phosphoesterase, phosphoesterase, glycerophosphoryl diester phosphodiesterase, pectin methylesterase, carboxylesterase, and thioesterase. The draft genome of H. halophilum B8T will provide basic information on esterases produced by Haloarchaea; a more detailed comparative analysis between H. halophilum B8T and other extremely
