High quality draft genome sequence of sp. nov., isolated from a frozen freshwater pond.

Strain S3-2, isolated from sediment of a frozen freshwater pond, shares 99% 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with strains of the genus . Strain S3-2 is a facultative anaerobe that lacks the ability to produce violacein but shows antibiotic resistance, psychrotolerance, incomplete denitrification, and fermentation. The draft genome of strain S3-2 has a size of ~5.8 Mbp and contains 5,297 genes, including 115 RNA genes. Based on the phenotypic properties of the strain, the low DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) values with related genomes (<35%), and the low whole genome-based average nucleotide identity (ANI) (<86%) with other strains within the genus we propose that strain S3-2 is the type strain (= DSM 102223 = LMG 29653) of a new species within this genus. We propose the name sp. nov. to emphasize the capability of the strain to grow at low temperatures.
