Draft Genome Sequence of a Humic Substance-Degrading Paenibacillus sp. Isolated from the Subarctic Grasslands at Low Temperature

The Paenibacillus sp. strain PAMC 26794 was isolated from the tundra grasslands in Alaska for its high ability to degrade humic acids. We sequenced the PAMC 26794 genome to discover the degradative genes for natural humic substances and we propose the degradation pathway(s) of an abundant bacterial...

Description
Summary:The Paenibacillus sp. strain PAMC 26794 was isolated from the tundra grasslands in Alaska for its high ability to degrade humic acids. We sequenced the PAMC 26794 genome to discover the degradative genes for natural humic substances and we propose the degradation pathway(s) of an abundant bacterial group (genus Paenibacillus) that inhabits cold environments.
