Complete Genome Sequence of <i>Halalkalicoccus jeotgali</i> B3 ^T , an Extremely Halophilic Archaeon

Abstract

Halalkalicoccus jeotgali B3(T), isolated from salt-fermented seafood from South Korea, is an extremely halophilic archaeon belonging to the family Halobacteriaceae. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of the type strain H. jeotgali B3(T) (3,698,650 bp, with a G+C content of 62.5%), which consists of one chromosome and six plasmids. This is the first complete genome sequence of the Halalkalicoccus species.
