Draft genome sequence of the psychrophilic bacterium Lacinutrix jangbogonensis PAMC 27137T

Abstract

<em>Lacinutrix jangbogonensis</em> PAMC 27137^T is a psychrophilic bacterial strain isolated from the marine sediment of the Ross Sea, Antarctica. Here we present an annotated draft genome sequence of the strain PAMC 27137^T which showed the narrower range in the growth temperature than other type strains of the genus Lacinutrix. The draft genome of 4,017,559 bpwith a G+C content of 30.6% comprised 14 scaffolds of 46 contigs containing 3589 protein-coding genes and 46 RNA genes. The function of 2185 (60.1%) proteins was predicted and 1943 (53.4%) proteins were assigned to COG functional categories. Comparative analysis of the draft genome across other type strains may provide clues into the mechanism of growth in narrow temperature range.
