## TL;DR

This paper presents the complete genome sequences of seven Halomonas mongoliensis bacteria isolated from salty lakes in Brazil, which could help in biotechnology.

## Contribution

The study provides seven newly sequenced complete genomes of Halomonas mongoliensis from hypersaline environments in the Pantanal region.

## Key findings

- The genomes of seven Halomonas mongoliensis isolates were fully sequenced.
- The isolates were obtained from hypersaline lakes in the Brazilian Pantanal region.
- These genomes may support biotechnological applications due to the bacteria's extremophilic traits.

## Abstract

Extremophilic microorganisms thrive in alkaline and saline conditions that reduce contamination risks, enabling efficient fermentation. We report the complete genomes of seven Halomonas mongoliensis isolates from salt-rich lakes in Brazil’s Pantanal, expanding resources for biotechnological development.
