Abstract

The gene encoding FtsZ1 was cloned from triangular disc-shaped extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula japonica strain TR-1. Nucleotide sequencing analysis of the possible ftsZ1 gene revealed that the structural gene consisted of an open reading frame of 1,038 nucleotides encoding 346 amino acids. Transcription of the ftsZ1 gene in Ha. japonica was confirmed by RT-PCR.
