Analysis of the complete genome sequence for Halococcus dombrowskii ATCC BAA-364T

We describe sequencing and assembly of complete Halococcus dombrowskii H4T (=ATCC BAA-364T) genome using short- and long-read sequencing technologies. The first closed genome within its genus is composed of a 2,767,537 bp chromosome and five additional plasmids totalling 3,965,466 bp, with GC content of 62.18%. The genome contains 4,029 genes, 3,963 coding sequences and two CRISPR arrays. Unusually, this Euryarchaeote carries multiple rRNA operons with divergent ITS identities across both its chromosome and plasmids.
