Actinobacteria are the dominant taxa in Antarctic desert soils. Here, we describe the first draft genome of a member of the genus Williamsia (strain D3) isolated from Antarctic soil. The genome of this psychrotolerant bacterium may help to elucidate crucial survival mechanisms for organisms inhabiti...
