Abstract:
The haloalkaliphilic bacterium Alkalicoccus saliphilus DSM 15402T was isolated from a mineral pool. It grows aerobically at an optimum of 15% (wt/vol) salinity and pH 9.0. The draft genome consists of approximately 3.52 Mb and contains 3,434 predicted genes. Various genes are potentially involved in the adaptation mechanisms for both osmotic stress and pH homeostasis, providing insight into specific adaptations to this double-extreme environment.
