Complete genome sequences of Alkalilimnicola ehrlichii strain SGAR-12 isolated from a pilot-scale haloalkaline biodesulfurization installation and type strain A. ehrlichii MLHET

The sulfide-oxidizing bacterium Alkalilimnicola ehrlichii strain SGAR-12 was isolated from a pilot-scale haloalkaline biodesulfurization (BD) installation, and its genome was sequenced. Additionally, the genome of the type strain of the species, strain MLHET, was sequenced. In-depth genomic analysis may reveal differences in the sulfur utilization spectrum of both strains.
