The genome sequence of Thalassobacillus devorans strain MSP14 is 3.93 million base pairs long and is the first draft for this species.
It was isolated from a salt crystallizer in the Little Rann of Kutch, India, and is classified as a moderate but obligate halophile.
Studying this genome will help researchers understand how this organism survives in high-salinity environments.

We report the 3.93-Mbp first draft genome sequence of a species of the genus Thalassobacillus, Thalassobacillus devorans strain MSP14, a moderate but obligate halophile, isolated from a salt crystallizer of the Little Rann of Kutch, India. Exploring the genome of this organism will facilitate understanding the mechanism(s) of its obligate halophilism.
