Abstract
Exiguobacterium sp. strain JLM-2 is a thermophilic bacterium isolated from deep-sea ferromanganese (FeMn) nodules. The estimated genome of this strain is 2.9 Mb, with a G+C content of 48.32%. It has a novel circular 15,570-bp plasmid. The draft genome sequence may provide useful information about Mn-microbe interactions and the genetic basis for tolerance to environment stresses.

The genus Exiguobacterium was first described in 1983 by Collins et al [1], and the species formerly described as Brevibacterium acetylicum incertae sedis was included in the genus Exiguobacterium as E. acetylicum in 1994 [2]
The isolate Exiguobacterium sp. strain JLM-2 was isolated from deep-sea FeMn nodule samples, which were collected at a water depth of 3,573 m using Jiaolong’s operated submersible loaded on the Xiangyanghong 09 scientific exploration ship from Jiaolong Seamount’s dormant hydrothermal vent, South China Sea, during the first experimental application cruise on 3 July 2013
