Solibacillus kalamii Genome Sequence from International Space Station Air Filter

A draft genome sequence for the bacterial strain Solibacillus kalamii, isolated from a HEPA filter aboard the International Space Station. The data was provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated in March 2026. The strain is of interest due to its unique isolation environment.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on the unique isolation environment mentioned in the description
• Studying microbial adaptation to spaceflight conditions based on the source from the International Space Station
• Identifying potential novel genes or pathways in bacteria from controlled life-support systems based on the HEPA filter source

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• The description specifies a unique and well-documented isolation environment (International Space Station HEPA filter).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
