ABSTRACT Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Antarctic sea ice bacterium Glaciecola punicea ACAM 611 T , the type species of the genus Glaciecola . A blue-light-absorbing proteorhodopsin gene is present in the 3.08-Mb genome. This genome sequence can facilitate the study of the physiological metabolisms and ecological roles of sea ice bacteria.
