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