title: Draft genome sequence of Halopiger salifodinae KCY07-B2(T), an extremly halophilic archaeon isolated from a salt mine.
abstract: Halopiger salifodinae strain KCY07-B2(T), isolated from a salt mine in Kuche county, Xinjiang province, China, belongs to the family Halobacteriaceae. It is a strictly aerobic, pleomorphic, rod-shaped, Gram-negative and extremely halophilic archaeon. In this work, we report the features of the type strain KCY07-B2(T), together with the draft genome sequence and annotation. The draft genome sequence is composed of 83 contigs for 4,350,718 bp with 65.41 % G + C content and contains 4204 protein-coding genes and 50 rRNA genes.
