Abstract

The moderate halophile Alkalicoccus halolimnae BZ-SZ-XJ29^T grows optimally in a relative broad range of 8.3% to 12.3% (wt/vol) NaCl. The draft genome consists of approximately 3.66 Mb and contains 3,534 putative genes. Various genes involved in osmotic stress were predicted, providing pertinent insights into specific adaptations to the hypersaline environment.
