Draft Genome Sequence of Deinococcus phoenicis, a Novel Strain Isolated during the Phoenix Lander Spacecraft Assembly.
Deinococcus phoenicis strain 1P10ME(T) is a radiation- and desiccation-resistant bacterium isolated from a cleanroom facility where the Phoenix Lander spacecraft was assembled. In order to facilitate investigations of the nature of the extreme resistance of D. phoenicis to bactericidal factors, a draft genome sequence of D. phoenicis was determined.
