Abstract

Bacillus salarius IM0101 is a halophilic bacterium that was isolated from soil in Inner Mongolia, China. The genome sequence of B. salarius IM0101 contains a biomarker gene for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesis. This 6.9-Mb draft genome sequence of B. salarius IM0101 will provide new insights into the organism's PHA production machinery.
