title: Draft Genome Sequence of Microbacterium sp. Strain CH12i, Isolated from Shallow Groundwater in Cape Hallett, Antarctica.
abstract: The Antarctic continent is largely covered by an expansive ice sheet, but it harbors diverse terrestrial and aquatic habitats in the coastal ice-free continental margins. Here we present the draft genome of Microbacterium sp. CH12i, which was isolated from hypersaline, alkaline, and nutrient-rich groundwater from Cape Hallett, northern Victoria Land, Antarctica.
