TitleDraft Genome Sequence of Microbacterium sp. Strain CH12i, Isolated from Shallow Groundwater in Cape Hallett, AntarcticaAbstractThe 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.AcknowledgementsWe gratefully acknowledge the South African National Research Foundation and the Genomics Research Institute of the University of Pretoria, the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment, New Zealand (projects C09X0307 and C09X1001), Antarctica New Zealand, for field and logistics support, the University of Pretoria DNA Sequencing Facility for sequencing support, and the Centre for High Performance Computing (CHPC), an initiative supported by the Department of Science and Technology of South Africa.
