Abstract

The thermophilic Geobacillus sp. strain LEMMJ02 was isolated from Fumarole Bay sediment on Deception Island, an active Antarctic volcano. Here, we report the draft genome of LEMMJ02, which consists of 3,160,938 bp with 52.8% GC content and 3,523 protein-coding genes.

Highlights

  • The genus Geobacillus is a member of the phylum Firmicutes, consisting of Grampositive, aerobic or facultative anaerobic, heterotrophic, and obligatory thermophilic bacteria [1]

  • After incubation at 55°C for 48 h, a single colony was used for genomic DNA extraction with a Wizard genomic DNA purification kit (Promega, Madison, USA), and the DNA was quantified using a Qubit fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA)

  • The assembled scaffolds were quality checked with CheckM and RefineM [9], and the coding DNA sequences (CDSs) were predicted and annotated using the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) tool [10] and the Rapid Annotations using Subsystems Technology (RAST) server [11]

Summary

Introduction

The genus Geobacillus is a member of the phylum Firmicutes, consisting of Grampositive, aerobic or facultative anaerobic, heterotrophic, and obligatory thermophilic bacteria [1]. After incubation at 55°C for 48 h, a single colony was used for genomic DNA extraction with a Wizard genomic DNA purification kit (Promega, Madison, USA), and the DNA was quantified using a Qubit fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA). A NEBNext Ultra II FS DNA library kit (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, USA) was used to prepare a paired-end 300-bp library, which was sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq system.
