Abstract

The metagenomic sequences of the prokaryotic microbiota from the brine of a crystallizer pond with 42% (wt/vol) salinity of a saltern located in Isla Cristina, Huelva, southwest Spain, were obtained by Illumina. Haloarchaea and members of the bacterial genus Salinibacter were the most abundant prokaryotes.
