Data on draft genome sequence of sp. SAM-B isolated from a mineral cold spring located in Tyva, southern Siberia.

sp. SAM-B was isolated from Uzharlyg Mineral Cold Spring, Samagaltay Settlement, Republic of Tyva (Southern Siberia), Russian Federation. A whole genome sequencing of sp. SAM-B was performed using an Illumina MiSeq platform. The resulting draft genome contains 4,253,956 bp with 66.48% GC-content and 71 contigs; the longest contig contains 968,648 bp, and the N has a length of 401,736 bp. The genome includes 3816 protein-coding genes, among which 23 are responsible for protein degradation, 65 are associated with stress response, and 31 are associated with virulence, disease, and defense, including beta-lactamase and resistance to fluoroquinolones. The genome data on the SAM-B strain provides fundamental knowledge that would allow a better understanding of the microorganisms inhabiting cold water environments. Moreover, the results of the genome annotation indicated that diverse metabolic pathways are encoded in the genome of the SAM-B strain and that it has biotechnological potential. The draft genome sequence of sp. SAM-B has been deposited in DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the accession number JABBXB000000000; the accession number of the genome sequence referred to in this paper is JABBXB010000000.
