# Whole-genome sequence of the strictly anaerobic bacterial strain SANA belonging to the family Gottschalkiaceae, isolated from a xenic culture of an anaerobic protist

## TL;DR

Scientists sequenced the genome of a new anaerobic bacteria, SANA, isolated from a protist in a Japanese saline lake.

## Contribution

The paper presents the first whole-genome sequence of a bacterial strain from the family Gottschalkiaceae.

## Key findings

- The SANA genome includes a single circular chromosome of 3,490,293 base pairs.
- The genome encodes 3,275 predicted protein-coding genes and 8 rRNA operons.

## Abstract

An anaerobic bacterial strain SANA was isolated from a xenic culture of an anaerobic heterolobosean protist which was obtained from a saline lake in Japan. Its draft genome comprises 1 circular chromosome (3,490,293 bp), harboring 3,275 predicted protein-coding and 73 tRNA-encoding genes and 8 rRNA operons.
