Complete genome sequence of the linear plasmid pJD12 hosted by Micrococcus sp. D12, isolated from a high-altitude volcanic lake in Argentina

Abstract

The linear plasmid pDJ12 from Micrococcus D12, isolated from the high-altitude volcanic Diamante Lake in the northwest of Argentina, was completely sequenced and annotated. It is noteworthy that the element is probably conjugative and harbors genes potentially instrumental in coping with stress conditions that prevail in such an extreme environment.
