Abstract excerpt
Australian isolates of Haloquadratum walsbyi, a square-shaped haloarchaeon, often harbor small cryptic plasmids of the pL6-family, approximately 6 kb in size, and five examples have been previously described. These plasmids exhibit a highly conserved gene arrangement and encode replicases similar to those of betapleolipoviruses. To assess their global distribution and recover more examples for analysis, fifteen...
