title: Draft genome sequence of the agarolytic haloarchaeon Halobellus rufus type strain CBA1103.
abstract: The extremely halophilic archaeon Halobellus rufus type strain CBA1103(T) (CECT 8423(T) and JCM 19434(T)) was isolated from non-purified solar salt and characterized as an agarase producer. The draft genome sequence contains 3852 303 bp with a G + C content of 64.1% and includes genomic information on various carbohydrate-active enzymes. This is the first sequenced genome of the genus Halobellus, and is expected to provide general sequence information for halophilic carbohydrate-active enzymes and opportunities for biotechnological applications of novel halophilic enzymes.
