Rich mobilomes and a conserved adaptive core in bacteria from an intensifying Mexican soda lake

Using long-read sequencing, high-quality genomes are recovered for six isolates that dereplicate to three independent, bona fide haloalkaliphilic lineages spanning two distant families (Halomonadaceae, Bacillaceae), whose closest relative is not its type strain but an isolate from another distant extreme habitat, including two other Mexican hypersaline systems.
