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.
