Complete genome sequence of Antarcticibacterium flavum JB01H24T from an Antarctic marine sediment

Abstract

Antarcticibacterium flavum JB01H24T was isolated from a marine sediment of the Ross Sea, Antarctica. Whole-genome sequencing of the strain Antarcticibacterium flavum JB01H24T was achieved using PacBio RS II platform. The resulting complete genome comprised of one closed, complete chromosome of 4,319,074 base pairs with a 40.87% G+C content, where genomic analyses demonstrated that it is constituted mostly javascript:void(null);by putative ORFs with unknown functions, representing a novel genetic feature. It is the first complete genome sequence of the Antarcticibacterium strain.
