title: Draft genome sequence of Halorubrum halophilum B8(T), an extremely halophilic archaeon isolated from salt-fermented seafood.
abstract: The extremely halophilic archaeon, Halorubrum halophilum B8(T) (=JCM 18963(T), CECT 8278(T)) was isolated from salt-fermented seafood. We report here the draft genome of H. halophilum B8(T), containing 3,677,984bp with a G+C content of 65.1%. The genome consists of 19 genes predicted to encode esterases.
