Draft Genome Sequence of the Iron-Oxidizing, Acidophilic, and Halotolerant "Thiobacillus prosperus" Type Strain DSM 5130

"Thiobacillus prosperus" is a halotolerant mesophilic acidophile that gains energy through iron and sulfur oxidation. Its physiology is poorly understood. Here, we describe the principal genomic features of the type strain of T. prosperus, DSM 5130. This is the first public genome sequence...

Zusammenfassung:"Thiobacillus prosperus" is a halotolerant mesophilic acidophile that gains energy through iron and sulfur oxidation. Its physiology is poorly understood. Here, we describe the principal genomic features of the type strain of T. prosperus, DSM 5130. This is the first public genome sequence of an acidophilic halotolerant bacterium.
