Actinobacteria are the dominant taxa in Antarctic desert soils. Here, we describe the first draft genome of a member of the genus Williamsia (strain D3) isolated from Antarctic soil. The genome of this psychrotolerant bacterium may help to elucidate crucial survival mechanisms for organisms inhabiting cold desert soil systems.
放线菌是南极荒漠土壤中的优势类群。在此,我们描述了从南极土壤中分离出的Williamsia属(菌株D3)成员的首个基因组草图。这种耐冷细菌的基因组可能有助于阐明栖息在寒冷荒漠土壤系统中的生物的关键生存机制。
