Abstract

Here, we describe the genome of Desulfovibrio sulfodismutans ThAc01, a Desulfobacterota member first isolated from freshwater mud and the first strain reported to be capable of growth via sulfur disproportionation. As such, this genome expands our understanding of the diversity of sulfur-disproportionating microorganisms.

Highlights

  • We describe the genome of Desulfovibrio sulfodismutans ThAc01, a Desulfobacterota member first isolated from freshwater mud and the first strain reported to be capable of growth via sulfur disproportionation

  • The D. sulfodismutans genome was recovered at 108ϫ coverage as 1,080,467 reads, which were assembled into 295 contigs

  • Metabolic pathways for sulfur disproportionation are expected to be indistinguishable from those for dissimilatory sulfate reduction; consistent with this expectation, the D. sulfodismutans genome encodes a full dissimilatory sulfate reduction pathway, including sulfate adenylyltransferase, adenylylsulfate reductase, dissimilatory sulfite reductase, and the sulfite reduction-associated DsrMKJOP complex

Summary

Introduction

We describe the genome of Desulfovibrio sulfodismutans ThAc01, a Desulfobacterota member first isolated from freshwater mud and the first strain reported to be capable of growth via sulfur disproportionation. The D. sulfodismutans genome was recovered at 108ϫ coverage as 1,080,467 reads, which were assembled into 295 contigs. The draft genome has an N50 value of 37,406 bp and totals 4,376,887 bp, with 4,454 coding sequences and 54 RNAs. The genome has a GC content of 63.5%.
