biostudies-literatureUnknown9(3)Ikram HIHalopiger goleamassiliensis strain IIH3(T) sp. nov. is a novel, extremely halophilic archaeon within the genus Halopiger. This strain was isolated from an evaporitic sediment in El Golea Lake, Ghardaïa region (Algeria). The type strain is strain IIH3(T). H. goleamassiliensis is moderately thermophilic, neutrophilic, non-motile and coccus-shaped. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 3,906,923 bp long genome contains 3,854 protein-encoding genes and 49 RNA genes (1 gene is 16S rRNA, 1 gene is 23S rRNA, 3 genes are 5S rRNA, and 44 are tRNA genes).Standards in genomic sciences956-9https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC4149028biostudies-literatureNon-contiguous finished genome sequence and description of Halopiger goleamassiliensis sp. nov.PMC4149028Didier RIkram HIChristelle DCatherine RCaroline MHocine HfalseNon-contiguous finished genome sequence and description of Halopiger goleamassiliensis sp. nov.Halopiger goleamassiliensis strain IIH3(T) sp. nov. is a novel, extremely halophilic archaeon within the genus Halopiger.
