Abstract

Halococcus sediminicola CBA1101^T (=CECT 8275^T, JCM 18965^T) is an extremely halophilic strain isolated from a marine sediment collected from the bay of Gangjin in the Republic of Korea. We found that the draft genome of H. sediminicola CBA1101^T contains 3,764,367bp, with 62.3% G+C content. This is the one of the few genomes to be sequenced in the genus Halococcus.
