“…Complete genome of Halorubrum sp. H3a strain was already sequenced by our group (Rozanov et al, 2015), which allowed us to assign this strain to H. saccharovorum. The genome of cold-adapted haloarchaeon Halorubrum lacusprofundi has also been completely sequenced and its derived protein sequences analysed bioinformatically (DasSarma et al, 2013;Anderson et al, 2016).…”

Mars is considered to be one of the most favourable places in the Solar System to search for past and present life. In the past Mars was warmer and wetter, so terrestrial halophiles can be regarded as analogues of hypothetical ancient Martian halophiles. In this study we used microorganisms from unique Altai region (Russia) to estimate the capability of terrestrial bacteria and archaea to survive at low temperatures and high concentration of salts and metals, similar to the Martian environment. The current report demonstrates that both halophilic archaea and halotolerant bacteria from saline lakes of the Altai region may be considered as analogues of ancient Martian organisms, since they are able to withstand conditions that hypothetically existed in subsurface layers of the early Mars (low temperatures, salt solutions with a high content of NaCl) with only slight decrease in viability. We also found that the studied microorganisms can use some organic substances found in meteorites. We consider that transfer of unicellular halophiles from Earth to Mars was possible, and, moreover, they could successfully survive and grow on early Mars. Adjusting our growth media to the chemical composition of the lakes, from which the studied strains were isolated, resulted in significant increase in survival and growth rates. Certain strains could survive several freeze–thaw cycles at −70 °C typical for Martian nights.

Euryarchaeota / Halobacteria / Haloferacales / Halorubraceae / Halorubrum With 37 species, Halorubrum (family Halorubraceae , order Haloferacales ) is the largest genus within the class Halobacteria . Cells of Halorubrum species are rod shaped or pleomorphic under optimal growth conditions and stain Gram‐negative. Some species are motile. Colonies are generally red‐orange due to the presence of bacterioruberin carotenoids, but some species are almost colorless; retinal pigments can also be present. Some strains produce gas vesicles. Halorubrum species are extremely halophilic, with growth occurring in media containing 1.0–5.2 M NaCl; the optimum magnesium concentration varies between 0.005 and 0.6 M. Cells lyse in distilled water. The genus contains both neutrophilic and alkaliphilic species. All are aerobic chemoorganotrophs; anaerobic growth of some species was reported in the presence of nitrate or arginine. Some species grow on single carbon sources. Most species use sugars, some with the production of acids. The major polar lipids are C 20 C 20 and sometimes C 20 C 25 glycerol diether derivatives of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester, phosphatidylglycerol sulfate (in most species), and a sulfated glucosyl mannosyl diether, for some species identified as S‐DGD‐3. Alkaliphilic species lack glycolipids. The DNA G + C content is between 60.2 and 71.2 mol%. Halorubrum species have been isolated from marine salterns, salt lakes, soda lakes, saline soils, rock salt, salted foods, and other hypersaline environments. The type species is Halorubrum saccharovorum . Later homotypic synonym: Halorubrobacterium Kamekura and Dyall‐Smith 1996, 625 VP (Effective publication: Kamekura and Dyall‐Smith 1995, 345). DNA G + C content (mol%) : 60.2–71.2. Type species : Halorubrum saccharovorum (Tomlinson and Hochstein 1976) McGenity and Grant 1996, 362 VP (Effective publication: McGenity and Grant 1995, 241) ( Halobacterium saccharovorum Tomlinson and Hochstein 1977, 306; Halorubrobacterium saccharovorum (Tomlinson and Hochstein 1976) Kamekura and Dyall‐Smith 1996, 625).
