We have constructed a complete, five-enzyme restriction map of the genome of the archaeon Halobacterium sp. GRB, based on a set of 84 overlapping cosmid clones. Fewer than 30 kbp, in three gaps, remain uncloned. The genome consists of five repllcons: a chromosome (2038 kbp) and four plasmids (305, 90, 37, and 1.8 kbp). The genome of Halobacterium sp. GRB is similar in style to other halobacterlal genomes by being partitioned among multiple replicons and by being mosaic in terms of nucleotlde composition. It is unlike other halobacterlal genomes, however, in lacking multicopy families of insertion sequences.
