show Abstracthide AbstractWe have isolated Halomonas sp. MBEE15 from a deep-sea sediment collected from a depth of 3100 m in the Japan Trench off the Pacific coast of Miyagi Prefecture, northern Japan, which grows on the several aromatic monomers. To acquire some biochemical findings, we attempt to perform whole genome sequencing of Halomonas sp. MBEE15, and compare the sequences to those of related species.
