Abstract
Sulfurospirillum strains UCH001 and UCH003 were isolated from anaerobic cis-1,2-dichloroethene-dechlorinating microbial consortia derived from groundwater in Japan. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of strains UCH001 and UCH003.
Highlights
Sulfurospirillum strains UCH001 and UCH003 were isolated from anaerobic cis-1,2-dichloroethene-dechlorinating microbial consortia derived from groundwater in Japan
The Sulfurospirillum strains UCH001 and UCH003 were newly isolated from anaerobic cis-1,2-dichloroethene-dechlorinating microbial consortia derived from chloroethenes-contaminated groundwater in Japan [7]
The genomes of UCH001 and UCH003 were sequenced by using a combined strategy of shotgun sequencing with a 454 GS FLX Titanium (Roche, Basel, Switzerland), paired-end sequencing with an Illumina HiSeq1000 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA), and mate-pair sequencing with an Illumina MiSeq (Illumina)
Summary
Sulfurospirillum strains UCH001 and UCH003 were isolated from anaerobic cis-1,2-dichloroethene-dechlorinating microbial consortia derived from groundwater in Japan. Bacteria of the genus Sulfurospirillum are Gram-negative microaerophilic or facultative anaerobic sulfur reducers belonging to the family Campylobacteraceae of the class Epsilonproteobacteria. Several species have been identified and isolated from various environmental samples including activated sludge, selenium-contaminated freshwater, anoxic freshwater sediment, soil, groundwater, microbial electrosynthesis system, etc., which suggests that they are ubiquitous organisms with metabolic versatility [1,2,3,4,5,6].
