Complete genome sequence of Frondihabitans sp. strain PAMC28766, a novel carotenoid-producing and radiation-resistant strain isolated from an Antarctic lichen

Abstract

Here, we report the first complete genome sequence of <em>Frondihabitans </em>sp. strain PAMC28766, which was found to consist of three plasmids, one chromosome (4,345,897 bp), and a series of genes involved in carotenoid biosynthesis and nucleotide excision repair. An analysis of the<em> Frondihabitans</em> sp. PAMC28766 genome will improve our understanding of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. Furthermore, the sequence data will provide novel insight into UV radiation-resistance in extremely cold environments.
