摘要： Two extremely halophilic archaeal strains, designated SB29(T) and SB3(T), were isolated from the brine-seawater interface of Discovery Deep in the Red Sea. Cells of both strains were pleomorphic (irregular polyhedrals, ovals, and rods) and stained Gram-negative; colonies were pigmented pink. The sequence similarity of the 16S rRNA gene of strain SB29(T) with that of its most closely related validly described species (Hfx. sulfurifontis DSM 16227(T)) and that of strain SB3(T) with its closest validly described relative (Hfx. denitrificans ATCC 35960(T)) was 98.1% and 98.6%, respectively. The incomplete draft genomes of SB29(T) and SB3(T) are 3,871,125 bp and 3,904,985 bp in size, respectively, and their DNA G + C contents are 60.75% and 65.64%, respectively. The highest ANI values between the genomes of SB29(T) and SB3(T) and the most closely related genomes in GenBank were determined as 82.6% (Hfx. sulfurifontis ATCC BAA-897(T), GenBank accession no. GCA_000337835.1) and 92.6% (Haloferax denitrificans ATCC 35960(T), GenBank accession no. GCA_000337795.1), respectively. These data indicate that the two new isolates cannot be classified into any recognized species of the genus Haloferax, and, therefore, two novel species of the genus Haloferax are proposed: Haloferax profundi sp. nov. (type strain SB29(T) = JCM 19567(T) = CGMCC 1.14960(T)) and Haloferax marisrubri sp. nov. (type strain SB3(T) = JCM 19566(T) = CGMCC 1.14958(T)).
