Draft genome of halomonas species strain GFAJ-1 (ATCC BAA-2256).
Halomonas strain GFAJ-1 was reported in Science magazine to be a remarkable microbe for which there was "arsenate in macromolecules that normally contain phosphate, most notably nucleic acids." The draft genome of the bacterium was determined (NCBI accession numbers AHBC01000001 through AHBC01000103). It appears to be a typical gamma proteobacterium.
متن کاملAbsence of detectable arsenate in DNA from arsenate-grown GFAJ-1 cells.
A strain of Halomonas bacteria, GFAJ-1, has been claimed to be able to use arsenate as a nutrient when phosphate is limiting and to specifically incorporate arsenic into its DNA in place of phosphorus. However, we have found that arsenate does not contribute to growth of GFAJ-1 when phosphate is limiting and that DNA purified from cells grown with limiting phosphate and abundant arsenate does n...
متن کامل“Artifactual” arsenate DNA
The recent claim by Wolfe-Simon et al. that the Halomonas bacterial strain GFAJ-1 when grown in arsenate-containing medium with limiting phosphate is able to substitute phosphate with arsenate in biomolecules including nucleic acids and in particular DNA(1) arose much skepticism, primarily due to the very limited chemical stability of arsenate esters (see ref. 2 and references therein). A major...
متن کاملDraft genome sequence of Halomonas lutea strain YIM 91125T (DSM 23508T) isolated from the alkaline Lake Ebinur in Northwest China
Species of the genus Halomonas are halophilic and their flexible adaption to changes of salinity and temperature brings considerable potential biotechnology applications, such as degradation of organic pollutants and enzyme production. The type strain Halomonas lutea YIM 91125(T) was isolated from a hypersaline lake in China. The genome of strain YIM 91125(T) becomes the twelfth species sequenc...
متن کاملBiotreatment of the Wastewater Containing Insoluble Pigment by Halomonas Strain Gb
Industrial dyeing processes produce a large amount of wastewater that contains many organic compounds such as different type of dyes and pigments, dispersing agents, surfactants which are difficult to treat. Considering that little studies have been done on biodegradation of oil-soluble azo dyes, the lake of this issue is completely felt. In this study, biotrea...
