Complete genome sequences of <i>Alkalilimnicola ehrlichii</i> strain SGAR-12 isolated from a pilot-scale haloalkaline biodesulfurization installation and type strain <i>A. ehrlichii</i> MLHE<sup>T</sup>

The sulfide-oxidizing bacterium <i>Alkalilimnicola ehrlichii</i> 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 MLHE^T, was sequenced. In-depth genomic analysis may reveal differences in the sulfur utilization spectrum of both strains.
