Draft genome sequence of Exiguobacterium aurantiacum strain PN47 isolate from saline ponds, known as “Salar del Huasco” located in the Altiplano in the North of Chile

Abstract

In this report, we present a draft genome of 2,886,173 bp of an Exiguobacterium aurantiacum strain PN47 isolate from the sediment of a saline pond named “Salar del Huasco” in the Altiplano in the North of Chile. Strain PN47 encodes adaptive characteristics enabling survival in extreme environmental conditions of high heavy metal and salt concentrations and high alkalinity.
