Complete genome sequence of Halocynthiibacter arcticus PAMC 20958Tfrom an Arctic marine sediment sample

Abstract

Here, we present the first complete genome sequence of the strain PAMC 20958T from the genus Halocynthiibacter. Halocynthiibacter arcticus PAMC 20958T, isolated from a marine sediment of the Arctic, is a gram-negative, aerobic, and rod-shaped bacterium. The complete genome contains 4,329,554 base pairs with 53.21% GC content and a 44,566 base pair plasmid with 48.72% GC content. This genome contained genes encoding alkaline phosphatase and lipase, and genes that confer resistance to arsenic, cadmium, tellurite, and acriflavin.
