Key Points

The aim is to report the draft genome sequence of a novel Winogradskyella species isolated from Antarctic macroalgae.
Isolated Winogradskyella sp. from red macroalgae Plocamium cartilagineum.
Conducted genome assembly of the isolated strain.
Analyzed G + C content and coding sequences.
Draft genome measures 4,212,977 base pairs in length.
G + C content is 33.32%.
Identified 3,748 coding sequences in the genome.

Implication

Draft genome sequence reveals a new Winogradskyella species, indicating its potential ecological role.

Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Winogradskyella sp. nov. PC D3.3, a Flavobacteriia isolated from the surface of the red macroalgae Plocamium cartilagineum collected in King George Island, Antarctica. The genome assembly comprised 4,212,977 bp, with 33.32% G + C content and 3,748 coding sequences.
