Exiguobacterium sp. S17, a moderately halotolerant, arsenic resistant bacterium that was isolated from Laguna Socompa stromatolites in the Argentinean Puna. The draft genome sequence suggests enzyme candidates that are essential to survive in multiple environmental extreme conditions, as high UV radiation, elevated salinity and the presence of critical arsenic concentration.
