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. This population exhibited a degree of linkage equilibrium approaching that of a sexual population. Taxonomy In taxonomy, ''Halorubrum'' is a genus of the Halobacteriaceae. Species ''Halorubrum ejinorense'' was first isolated from Lake Ejinor in Inner Mongolia, China. ''Halorubrum lacusprofundi'' was first isolated in the 1980s from Deep Lake, Antarctica. 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). Its β-galactosidase enzyme has been extensively studied to understand how proteins function in low-temperature, high-saline environments. O ...
