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.
