Publication date: Available online 23 July 2017 Source:Genomics Data Author(s): Mingyeong Woo, Sun-Hee Park, Kyounghee Park, Min-Kyu Park, Ji-Yeon Kim, Han-Seung Lee, Jae Hak Sohn, Dong-Woo Lee, Gaewon Nam, Kee-Sun Shin, Sang-Jae Lee The draft genome sequence of the halophilic bacterium Halobacillus mangrovi KTB 131, isolated from Topan salt of the Jeon-nam in Korea, was established. The genome comprises 4,151,649bp, with a G+C content of 41.6%. The strain displays a high number of genes responsible for secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport, and catabolism compared to other Halobacillus bacterial genus members. Numerous genes responsible for various transport systems, solute accumulation, and aromatic/sulfur decomposition were detected. The first genomic analysis encourages further research on comparative genomics and potential biotechnological applications. The whole draft genome sequence of Halobacillus mangrovi KTB 131 is now available (Bioproject PRJNA380285).
