Draft Genome Sequence of Halomonas urumqiensis BZ-SZ-XJ27T, an Aerobic Halophilic Bacterium Isolated from a Salt Lake

摘要

The aerobic halophilic bacterium Halomonas urumqiensis BZ-SZ-XJ27T, growing optimally at 1.42?M Na+, with a range of 0.22 to 4.32 M Na+, was isolated from a salt lake in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of strain BZ-SZ-XJ27T, which consists of approximately 3.97?Mb and contains 3,588 predicted genes. Some of the genes that maintain intracellular osmotic balance were identified, offering valuable insights into specific adaptations to the hypersaline environment.
