Abstract
We report the 3.2-Mb draft genome sequence of Psychrobacter aquaticus strain CMS 56T, isolated from a cyanobacterial mat sample collected from a water body in the McMurdo Dry Valley region of Antarctica.

We report the 3.2-Mb draft genome sequence of Psychrobacter aquaticus strain CMS 56T, isolated from a cyanobacterial mat sample collected from a water body in the McMurdo Dry Valley region of Antarctica
Psychrobacter aquaticus strain CMS 56T is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, halotolerant, psychrophilic bacterium, isolated from a cyanobacterial mat sample collected from various water bodies in the McMurdo Dry Valley region of Antarctica (1)
Whole-genome sequencing of Psychrobacter aquaticus CMS 56T was performed using the Roche 454 (FLX Titanium) pyrosequencing platform, which yielded a raw sequence of 136,405,203 bp in 411,734 reads, which is 40ϫ coverage of the genome
Summary
We report the 3.2-Mb draft genome sequence of Psychrobacter aquaticus strain CMS 56T, isolated from a cyanobacterial mat sample collected from a water body in the McMurdo Dry Valley region of Antarctica. Psychrobacter aquaticus strain CMS 56T is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, halotolerant, psychrophilic bacterium, isolated from a cyanobacterial mat sample collected from various water bodies in the McMurdo Dry Valley region of Antarctica (1). Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the closest neighbor of Psychrobacter aquaticus CMS 56T is Psychrobacter vallis CMS 39T, isolated at the same time, with a similarity score of 99.59%, followed by other members of the genus Psychrobacter, with similarity scores ranging from 99.05 to 89.41%.
