# Complete genome sequence of a Salimicrobium sp. PL1-032A isolated from the pink hypersaline Pearse Lakes, Rottnest Island, Western Australia

## TL;DR

Scientists sequenced the genome of a new salt-loving microbe from a hypersaline lake in Western Australia.

## Contribution

This study provides the complete genome sequence of a new Salimicrobium species from an extreme hypersaline environment.

## Key findings

- The genome is a single chromosome of 2,705,688 base pairs with 47.2% GC content.
- The isolate contributes to understanding extremophiles and the Pearse Lakes ecosystem.

## Abstract

Salimicrobium sp. PL1-032A was isolated from Pearse Lakes, Western Australia. The sequenced genome consists of a single chromosome (2,705,688  bp) with a GC content of 47.2%. The isolation of Salimicrobium sp. PL1-032A contributes to the collection of culturable extremophiles and offers potential insight into the Pearse Lakes biome.
