Draft Genome Sequence from a Putative New Genus and Species in the Family M1A02 within the Phylum Planctomycetes , Isolated from Benthic Pinnacle Mats in Lake Untersee, Antarctica

Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence for a new putative genus and species in the family M1A02 within the order Phycisphaerales . Isolated from the metagenome of a benthic pinnacle-shaped mat in the Antarctic Lake Untersee, the members of this family have been found in biofilms and freshwater environments.
