Complete genome sequence of Kushneria sp. strain Sum13, a halophilic bacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of Suaeda maritima

We report the complete genome sequence of Kushneria sp. strain Sum13, isolated from the rhizosphere of Suaeda maritima at the Gomsoman Saltpan, Korea. The genome comprises a single circular chromosome of 3,710,928 bp with a G + C content of 59.7% and 3,333 predicted protein-coding genes. Genome annotation identified genes associated with osmotic stress response, compatible solute biosynthesis, and ion transport, highlighting mechanism of halophilic adaptation and suggesting potential applications in salt-stressed agricultural environments.
