Draft Genome Sequence of a Psychrophilic Bacterium, Sphingomonas antarcticum, Isolated from the Soils of Schirmacher Oasis, Antarctica

We report the 4.5-Mbp genome sequences of Sphingobacterium antarcticum 4BY, a psychrophilic bacterium isolated from the soils of Schirmacher Oasis, Antarctica. The draft genome of S. antarcticum strain 4BY consists of 4,566,318 bp with 40.4% G+C content, 4,234 protein coding genes, and 52 RNAs.
