Nesterenkonia sp. strain PF2B19, a psychrophilic bacterium, was isolated from 44,800-year-old permafrost. The draft genome sequence of this strain revealed the presence of genes involved in the production of cold active enzymes, carotenoid biosynthesis, fatty acid biosynthesis, and resistance to heavy metals. These results show the immense potential of the strain.
