Abstract

Halotolerant Halomonas spp. SpR1 and SpR8 are potential plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) isolated from Salicornia rhizosphere in a Chilean Altiplano hydrothermal lagoon. We report draft genomes of Halomonas sp. SpR1 (5.17Mb) and Halomonas sp. SpR8 (4.47 Mb). Both represent potentially novel independent species closely related to Halomonas boliviensis DSM 15516^T.

Keywords: Altiplano; Chile; Halomonas; Salicornia; genome analysis; hydrothermal lagoon.
