Genomic characterization of Defluviitoga tunisiensis L3, a key hydrolytic bacterium in a thermophilic biogas plant and its abundance as determined by metagenome fragment recruitment

•The genome sequence of Defluviitoga tunisiensis L3 originating from a thermophilic biogas-production plant was established and analyzed.•L3 genes involved in utilization of a large diversity of complex carbohydrates were detected.•Metabolic reconstruction led to the prediction of acetate, ethanol,...
