Abstract
Polaromonas species are found in a diversity of environments and are particularly common in icy ecosystems. Polaromonas sp. strain CG9_12 is an aerobic, Gram-negative, catalase-positive, white-pigmented bacterium of the Proteobacteria phylum. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Polaromonas sp. strain CG9_12, isolated from an Antarctic supraglacial stream.
Highlights
Organisms from the genus Polaromonas are receiving increased attention due to their environmental ubiquity
The library was loaded onto two singlemolecule real-time (SMRT) cells and sequenced using P4 polymerase and C2 chemistry with 180-minute movie times
De novo assembly was carried out using the hierarchical genome assembly process (HGAP) protocol from SMRT Analysis v2.0, including consensus polishing with Quiver [15, 16]
Summary
Organisms from the genus Polaromonas are receiving increased attention due to their environmental ubiquity. The genus Polaromonas was originally proposed to describe marine, psychrophilic, Antarctic organisms [1], and Polaromonas sequences have been retrieved from a wide variety of icy environments [2,3,4,5,6]. Organisms from the Polaromonas genus are studied for their role in pollutant degradation. There are only five whole genomes publicly available, four isolated from the sediment/groundwater environment [8,9,10] and one from an Arctic glacier [6].
