Draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain X and Salarachaeum sp. strain III isolated from Lake Karum, Danakil Depression, Ethiopia

Here, we report the draft genome sequences of strains of Bacillus and Salarachaeum that were isolated from hypersaline water samples collected from Lake Karum, Danakil Depression, Ethiopia. The sequences pave the way for more targeted studies into the potential biological activities and secondary metabolite synthesis of these organisms.
