Complete genome sequence of Pedobacter cryoconitis PAMC 27485, a CRISPR-Cas system-containing psychrophile isolated from Antarctica

Abstract

<em>Pedobacter cryoconitis</em> PAMC 27485, an aerobic, Gram-negative, facultatively psychrophilic bacterium, was isolated from Antarctic soil. Here we report the complete genome of <em>P. cryoconitis</em> PAMC 27485, which contains a type II CRISPR-Cas system and genes encoding useful enzymes (e.g. proteases). The genome sequence of <em>P. cryoconitis</em> PAMC 27485 could provide insights into its adaptive immune system against foreign genetic elements and biotechnological potential.
