Abstract
Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Thermobifida fusca strain TM51, which was isolated from the hot upper layer of a compost pile in Hungary. T. fusca TM51 is a thermotolerant, aerobic actinomycete with outstanding lignocellulose-decomposing activity.

We present the complete genome sequence of Thermobifida fusca strain TM51, which was isolated from the hot upper layer of a compost pile in Hungary
We report the genome sequence of T. fusca strain TM51, which was isolated from the hot upper layer of a horse manure compost pile
When TM51 grows on a crystalline cellulose (MN300)containing agar plate, the colonies appear with a white color due to the billions of spores, which are formed on the tip of the dichotomically branched aerial mycelium revealed by a scanning electron microscope [9]
Summary
We present the complete genome sequence of Thermobifida fusca strain TM51, which was isolated from the hot upper layer of a compost pile in Hungary. Thermobifidas are aerobic actinomycetes belonging to Nocardiopsaceae. The Yellowstone hot spring isolate T. fusca strain YX is by far the most characterized species from this taxon; its genome was published in 2007 [2]. Wilson’s pioneering works elucidated the cellulase system of T. fusca YX, and despite the lack of genetic tools this strain became the model organism of thermotolerant aerobic microbial cellulose decomposers [3].
