Draft genome sequence of a novel species of Radiobacillus (strain PE A8.2) isolated from a red Antarctic seaweed

We report the draft genome sequence of Radiobacillus sp. nov. PE A8.2, an endospore-forming bacterium isolated from the surface of the red seaweed Pyropia endiviifolia collected in King George Island, Antarctica. The genome assembly comprised 5,183,530 bp, with a 37.5% G+C content and 5,077 coding sequences.
