Abstract
Halomonas zhanjiangensis Chen et al. 2009 is a member of the genus Halomonas, family Halomonadaceae, class Gammaproteobacteria. Representatives of the genus Halomonas are a group of halophilic bacteria often isolated from salty environments. The type strain H. zhanjiangensis JSM 078169T was isolated from a sea urchin (Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus) collected from the South China Sea. The genome of strain JSM 078169T is the fourteenth sequenced genome in the genus Halomonas and the fifteenth in the family Halomonadaceae. The other thirteen genomes from the genus Halomonas are H. halocynthiae, H. venusta, H. alkaliphila, H. lutea, H. anticariensis, H. jeotgali, H. titanicae, H. desiderata, H. smyrnensis, H. salifodinae, H. boliviensis, H. elongata and H stevensii. Here, we describe the features of strain JSM 078169T, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation from a culture of DSM 21076T. The 4,060,520 bp long draft genome consists of 17 scaffolds with the 3,659 protein-coding and 80 RNA genes and is a part of Genomic Encyclopedia of Type Strains, Phase I: the one thousand microbial genomes (KMG) project.

Summary
Strain JSM 078169T (= DSM 21076 = KCTC 22279 = CCTCC AB 208031) is the type strain of the species Halomonas zhanjiangensis [1], one out of 84 species with a validly published name in the genus. Halomonas [2], family Halomonadaceae [3]. The family Halomonadaceae currently comprises thirteen genera Members of the genus Halomonas have been isolated from various saline environments and showed halophilic characteristics [7,8,9,10,11]. There are no PubMed records that document the use of these strain for any biotechnological studies; only comparative analyses performed for the description of later members of the genus Halomonas are recorded. We present a summary classification and a set of feature for H. zhanjiangensis JSM 078169T, together with the description of the genomic sequencing and annotation of DSM 21076
