# Draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain X and Salarachaeum sp. strain III isolated from Lake Karum, Danakil Depression, Ethiopia

## TL;DR

This paper presents draft genome sequences of two bacterial strains from a hypersaline lake in Ethiopia, which could help study their biological activities.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first draft genome sequences of Bacillus and Salarachaeum strains from Lake Karum.

## Key findings

- Draft genomes of two bacterial strains from Lake Karum were successfully sequenced.
- The genomes may aid in understanding the organisms' potential for secondary metabolite production.

## Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequences of strains of Bacillus and Salarachaeum that were isolated from hypersaline water samples collected from Lake Karum, Danakil Depression, Ethiopia. The sequences pave the way for more targeted studies into the potential biological activities and secondary metabolite synthesis of these organisms.
