Abstract

Bacillaceae sp. strain IKA-2 is a bacterium isolated from the permanently cold and alkaline ikaite columns in the Ikka Fjord in SW Greenland (61°12′05″N; 48°00′50″W). The bacterium grows well at 10°C in a substrate buffered to pH 10. It has a genome size of 4,424,890 bp and a guanine-cytosine (GC) content of 36.2%. The genome harbors genes involved in hydrolysis of long carbohydrates and in protection against cold shock.
