Abstract
Sulfurospirillum deleyianum Schumacher et al. 1993 is the type species of the genus Sulfurospirillum. S. deleyianum is a model organism for studying sulfur reduction and dissimilatory nitrate reduction as an energy source for growth. Also, it is a prominent model organism for studying the structural and functional characteristics of cytochrome c nitrite reductase. Here, we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. This is the first completed genome sequence of the genus Sulfurospirillum. The 2,306,351 bp long genome with its 2,291 protein-coding and 52 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
Highlights
Strain 5175T (= DSM 6946 = ATCC 51133 = LMG 8192) is the type strain of the species Sulfurospirillum deleyianum, which is the type species of the genus Sulfurospirillum
The genus Sulfurospirillum was originally proposed by Schumacher et al in 1992 [1]
The generic name Sulfurospirillum derives from the chemical element ‘sulfur’ and ‘spira’ from Latin meaning coil, a coiled bacterium that reduces sulfur [2]
Summary
Strain 5175T (= DSM 6946 = ATCC 51133 = LMG 8192) is the type strain of the species Sulfurospirillum deleyianum, which is the type species of the genus Sulfurospirillum. The genus Sulfurospirillum was originally proposed by Schumacher et al in 1992 [1]. The generic name Sulfurospirillum derives from the chemical element ‘sulfur’ and ‘spira’ from Latin meaning coil, a coiled bacterium that reduces sulfur [2]. The genus Sulfurospirillum contains seven species [2]. 5175T was isolated from anoxic mud of a forest pond near Heinigen, Braunschweig area, Germany [3]. It is unclear if further isolates of the species exist. We present a summary classification and a set of features for S. deleyianum 5175T, together with the description of the complete genomic sequencing and annotation
