Abstract
Actinobacteria are the dominant taxa in Antarctic desert soils. Here, we describe the first draft genome of a member of the genus
Williamsia (strain D3) isolated from Antarctic soil. The genome of this psychrotolerant bacterium may help to elucidate crucial
survival mechanisms for organisms inhabiting cold desert soil systems.
