Whole Genome Sequencing of Halocynthiibacter Strain from Arctic Svalbard Coast

A sediment sample collected from the coast of Svalbard, Arctic (78° 55' N, 11° 53' E). The dataset contains whole genome sequencing data for the novel strain PAMC 20958 and the reference strain H. namhaensis KCTC 32362, produced by AMD_KOPRI as part of the Polar and Alpine Microbial Collection (PAMC).

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on the whole genome sequences of two Halocynthiibacter strains.
• Novel bacterial species identification based on genome relatedness data mentioned in the description.
• Studying microbial adaptation to cold environments based on the Arctic sediment sample origin.
• Building reference databases for polar microbial collections based on the PAMC project context.

Strengths

• Includes precise geographic coordinates (78° 55' N, 11° 53' E) for the sample collection site.
• Describes detailed, standardized laboratory protocols for strain isolation and preservation.
• Provides a direct comparison between a novel isolate and a known type strain from a culture collection.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
