Draft genome sequence of the psychrophilic bacterium Lacinutrix jangbogonensis PAMC 27137

Abstract

Lacinutrix jangbogonensis PAMC 27137T 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 27137T which showed the narrower range in the growth temperature than other type strains of the genus Lacinutrix. The draft genome of 4,017,559 bp with a G+C content of 30.6% comprised 14 scaffolds of 46 contigs containing 3,589 protein-coding genes and 46 RNA genes. The function of 2,185 (60.1%) proteins was predicted and 1,943 (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.
