Genomic insights on carotenoid synthesis by extremely halophilic archaea Haloarcula rubripromontorii BS2, Haloferax lucentense BBK2 and Halogeometricum borinquense E3 isolated from the solar salterns of India

Abstract Haloarchaeal cultures were isolated from solar salterns of Goa and Tamil Nadu and designated as BS2, BBK2 and E3. These isolates grew with a characteristic bright orange to pink pigmentation and were capable of growing in media containing upto 25% (w/vol) NaCl. Whole genome sequencing (WGS)...
