Genome sequence of a novel member of the genus Psychrobacter isolated from Antarctic soil

J Bacteriol. 2012 May;194(9):2403. doi: 10.1128/JB.00234-12.

Abstract

Psychrobacter spp. have shown characteristics indicating remarkable capabilities at subzero temperatures that identify them as potential model organisms for the study of low-temperature adaptations. Here we present the draft genome sequence of Psychrobacter sp. PAMC 21119, which was isolated from permafrost soil of Antarctica; this information could provide insight into adaptation and evolution strategies under extreme environmental conditions.
