Draft genome sequence of Bizionia argentinensis, isolated from Antarctic surface water

J Bacteriol. 2011 Dec;193(23):6797-8. doi: 10.1128/JB.06245-11.

Abstract

A psychrotolerant marine bacterial strain, designated JUB59(T), was isolated from Antarctic surface seawater and classified as a new species of the genus Bizionia. Here, we present the first draft genome sequence for this genus, which suggests interesting features such as UV resistance, hydrolytic exoenzymes, and nitrogen metabolism.
