Non-contiguous finished genome sequence and description of Paucisalibacillus algeriensis sp. nov.. Paucisalibacillus sp. EB02

A novel Gram-positive, halophilic bacterium, designated strain EB02, was isolated from hypersaline sediment sample collected in Oum El Bouaghi (Ezzemoul sabkha), northeastern Algeria. Strain EB02 was identified as a member of the genus Paucisalibacillus. Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain EB02 had 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 98.2 % with Paucisalibacillus globulus type strain B22T (NCBI reference sequence: AM114102.1).
