title: Genome Sequence of the Extreme Obligate Alkaliphile Bacillus marmarensis Strain DSM 21297.
abstract: Bacillus marmarensis strain DSM 21297 is an extreme obligate alkaliphile able to grow in medium up to pH 12.5. A whole-shotgun strategy and de novo assembly led to the generation of a 4-Mbp genome of this strain. The genome features alkaliphilic adaptations and pathways for n-butanol and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) synthesis.
