Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of the Antarctic UV-resistant bacterium Sphingomonas sp. strain UV9. The strain has a genome size of 4.25 Mb, a 65.62% GC content, and 3,879 protein-coding sequences. Among others, genes encoding the resolving of the DNA damage produced by the UV irradiation were identified.
