Draft Genome Sequence of Tomitella biformata AHU 1821T, Isolated from a Permafrost Ice Wedge in Alaska

Tomitella biformata AHU 1821T was isolated and cultured from a permafrost ice wedge, aged presumably about 25,000 years, in the Fox permafrost tunnel (64.952°N 147.617°W), Alaska. These genome data provide the basis for investigating T. biformata AHU 1821T, identified as a long-term survivor of the...

Description
Summary:Tomitella biformata AHU 1821T was isolated and cultured from a permafrost ice wedge, aged presumably about 25,000 years, in the Fox permafrost tunnel (64.952°N 147.617°W), Alaska. These genome data provide the basis for investigating T. biformata AHU 1821T, identified as a long-term survivor of the extremely cold and closed environment.
