# Seven genome sequences of bacterial environmental isolates from the western coast of the Greenland Ice Sheet

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequences of seven bacteria found on the Greenland Ice Sheet's western coast, highlighting their potential ecological and biotech importance.

## Contribution

The study provides new genomic data from novel extremophile bacteria isolated from a melting ice sheet environment.

## Key findings

- Seven bacterial genomes were sequenced from the Greenland Ice Sheet's western coast.
- The isolates represent a novel extremophile microbiome with potential ecological and biotechnological significance.

## Abstract

We report the genomic sequences of seven bacterial isolates from the western coast of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The surface ice along the margins of the ice sheet is dominated by microbes. As the ice sheet melts, it is important to understand the ecological role and biotechnological potential of this novel extremophile microbiome.
