Abstract

Abstract Halopiger djelfamassiliensis strain IIH2T sp. nov. is the type strain ofHalopiger djelfamassiliensis sp. nov., a new species within the genusHalopiger . This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from evaporitic sediment of the hypersaline Lake Zahrez Gharbi in the Djelfa region (Algeria).H. Djelfamassiliensis is a Gram-negative, polymorphic-shaped and strictly aerobic archaeon. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 3, 771, 216 bp long genome-contains 3, 761 protein-coding and 51 RNA genes, including 4 rRNA genes.
