Complete genome sequence of Psychrobacter sp. GTC18467 isolated from a snake in Japan. Psychrobacter sp. strain:GTC18467

The genus Psychrobacter belongs to the family Moraxellaceae within the class of Gammaproteobacteria. The members of this genus are psychrophilic to psychrotolerant, halotolerant, aerobic, non-motile, Gram-negative coccobacilli. Psychrobacter species have been isolated mainly from cold environments such as Antarctic sea ice, seawater, deep sea, permafrost soil, but also from other environments such as pigeon feces, fish, poultry, dairy products, fermented seafood (Bowman, 2006). In this study, we present the complete genome sequence of a new Psychrobacter species isolated from snakeskin in Japan. This strain was initially identified using a MALDI biotyper according to the manufacturer's instructions (Bruker Japan). The identity of the strain was confirmed by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene. The whole genome sequence of this strain was determined. Sequencing was performed by a combination of long-read sequencing using Nanopore (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Tokyo, Japan) and short-read sequencing using DNBSEQ (MGITech Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China).
