Halobacterium hubeiense sp. nov., a haloarchaeal species isolated from a bore core drilled in Hubei Province, PR China.

ABSTRACT: Eight colonies of live microbes were isolated from an extensively surface-sterilized halite sample which had been retrieved from a depth of 2000 m from a salt mine in the Qianjiang Depression, Hubei Province, PR China. The eight colonies, obtained after 4 weeks of incubation, were named JI20-1^T-JI20-8 and JI20-1^T was selected as the type strain. The strains have been previously described, including a genomic analysis based on the complete genome for strain JI20-1^T and draft genomes for the other strains. In that study, the name Halobacterium hubeiense was suggested, based on the location of the drilling site. Previous phylogenomic analysis showed that strain JI20-1^T is most closely related to the Permian isolate Halobacterium noricense<
