## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a salt-tolerant bacterium that can break down alkanes, isolated from ocean sediments in China.

## Contribution

The complete genome sequence of Alloalcanivorax xenomutans HF10 is reported for the first time.

## Key findings

- The genome of Alloalcanivorax xenomutans HF10 is a single 4.76-Mb chromosome.
- The strain shows high salt tolerance, surviving in hypersaline conditions of more than 10%.
- The bacterium was isolated from ocean sediments in Xiamen, China.

## Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of Alloalcanivorax xenomutans HF10, an alkane-degrading strain isolated from the sediments of ocean in Xiamen, China, with a high salt tolerance potential of more than 10%. Its genome is composed of a 4.76-Mb chromosome.
