Halalkalicoccus paucihalophilus is an extremely halophilic, Gram-negative, and nonmotile coccus-like archaeon, which was originally isolated from the Lop Nur region in the northwest of China. The genome consists of a single replicon (3.98 Mbp). H. paucihalophilus is able to utilize mannose, which is unique for members of this genus.
