The strain was isolated from the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean at a depth of 3.8 km. The genome sequence information reported here for B. altitudinis SORB11 gives the basis of its UV resistance mechanism and provides data for further comparative studies with other bacteria resistant to UV radiation. %Z We are thankful to UGC-Center of Advanced Study, Department of Botany, The University of Burdwan, for pursuing research activities, for Expedition support to MoES, New Delhi and NCAOR, Goa (No. MoES/NCAOR/SOS/1/2007-PC-I; dated Jan 04, 2011).
