Draft genome sequence of the extremely halophilic archaeon Halococcus sediminicola CBA1101T isolated from a marine sediment sample.

ABSTRACT

Halococcus sediminicola CBA1101T (=CECT 8275T, JCM 18965T) is an extremely halophilic strain isolated from a marine sediment collected from the bay of Gangjin in the Republic of Korea. We found that the draft genome of H. sediminicola CBA1101T contains 3,764,367bp, with 62.3% G+C content. This is the one of the few genomes to be sequenced in the genus Halococcus.
