Complete genome sequence of Thermovibrio ammonificans HB-1T a thermophilic chemolithoautotrophic bacterium isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent

摘要

type strain HB-1^T is a thermophilic (Topt: 75°C), strictly anaerobic, chemolithoautotrophic bacterium that was isolated from an active, high temperature deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the East Pacific Rise. This organism grows on mineral salts medium in the presence of CO2/H2, using NO3^- or S⁰ as electron acceptors, which are reduced to ammonium or hydrogen sulfide, respectively. is one of only three species within the genus , a member of the family , and it forms a deep branch within the phylum . Here we report the main features of the genome of strain HB-1^T (DSM 15698^T).
