Halorubrum

Halorubrum is a genus in the family Halorubraceae. Halorubrum species areusually halophilic and can be found in waters with high salt concentration such as the Dead Sea or Lake Zabuye.

Genetic exchange

A population of the haloarchaea Halorubrum in its natural high salt concentration environment exchanged genetic information frequently by recombination.[2] This population exhibited a degree of linkage equilibrium approaching that of a sexual population.

Taxonomy

In taxonomy, Halorubrum is a genus of the Halobacteriaceae.[3]

Species

Halorubrum ejinorense was first isolated from Lake Ejinor in Inner Mongolia, China.[4]

Halorubrum lacusprofundi was first isolated in the 1980s from Deep Lake, Antarctica.[5] Its genome, sequenced in 2008, consists of two chromosomes (one 2.74 Mb and the other 0.53 Mb) and one plasmid (0.43 Mb).[6] Its β-galactosidase enzyme has been extensively studied to understand how proteins function in low-temperature, high-saline environments.[7][8] One strain of H. lacusprofundi contains a plasmid for horizontal gene transfer, which takes place via a mechanism that uses vesicle-enclosed virus-like particles.[9]

Halorubrum sodomense was first identified in the Dead Sea in 1980. It requires a higher concentration of Mg2+ ions for growth than related halophiles.[10] Its cell surface membrane contains Archaerhodopsin-3 (AR3), a photoreceptor protein which harvests the energy from sunlight to establish a proton motive force that is used for ATP synthesis.[11][12] Mutants of AR3 are widely used as tools in optogenetics for neuroscience research.[13]

Halorubrum tibetense was first isolated from Lake Zabuye in Tibet, China.[14]

Halorubrum xinjiangense was first isolated from Xiao-Er-Kule Lake in Xinjiang, China.[15]

Proposed species

Several species and novel binomial names have been proposed, but not validly published. published.

  • Halorubrum africanae and Halorubrum constantinense were isolated in Algeria and proposed as new species in 2007[16] and 2005.[17]
  • Halorubrum alimentarium and Halorubrum koreense are the proposed names for the undescribed strains B43 and B6, appearing in a publication of 2008.[18]
  • Halorubrum halotolerans is the proposed name for an undescribed strain isolated from solar salterns in Baja California in 2009.[19]
  • Halorubrum hochstenium is the proposed name for the full genome of the undescribed strain ATCC 700873, supplied to databases in 2014.[20][21]
  • Halorubrum jeotgali was isolated from samples of traditional Korean seafood and proposed as new species in 2007.[22] Halorubrum cibarium was proposed in the same publication. It was proposed again under the name H. cibi and accepted in 2009.
  • Halorubrum kribbense and Halorubrum norisence' are proposed names of unisolated strains from the human gut microbiome, referenced in a publication in 2017.[23]
  • Halorubrum salipaludis was first published in 2021.[24]
  • Halorubrum salsamenti was isolated from salt brine and proposed as new species in 2017.[25]
  • Halorubrum sfaxense was isolated in Tunisia and proposed as new species in 2017.[26]
  • Halorubrum tropicale was isolated in Puerto Rico and proposed as new species in 2016.[27]
