Complete Genome Sequence of the Radioresistant Bacterium Deinococcus aetherius ST0316, Isolated from Air Dust Collected in the Lower Stratosphere above Japan.

Deinococcus aetherius ST0316 is a radioresistant bacterium that possess proficient DNA repair capacity. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of D. aetherius, which was obtained by hybrid assembly using short- and long-read sequencing. This sequence will be important information for elucidating the unique DNA repair mechanism of bacteria.
