Abstract
Here, we report the draft genomes of five strains of Geobacillus spp., one Caldibacillus debilis strain, and one draft genome of Anoxybacillus flavithermus, all thermophilic spore-forming Gram-positive bacteria.
Highlights
We report the draft genomes of five strains of Geobacillus spp., one Caldibacillus debilis strain, and one draft genome of Anoxybacillus flavithermus, all thermophilic spore-forming Gram-positive bacteria
Thermophilic spore-forming bacteria typically grow at temperatures above 45°C and produce spores that are highly resistant to environmental insults, including high temperatures
Thermophilic spore-formers are encountered in a range of different environments [1] and their spores may be able to survive intense heat treatments, including commercial food sterilization processes used for canning and ultra-high temperature processes applied in the manufacturing of liquid foods
Summary
We report the draft genomes of five strains of Geobacillus spp., one Caldibacillus debilis strain, and one draft genome of Anoxybacillus flavithermus, all thermophilic spore-forming Gram-positive bacteria. Thermophilic spore-forming bacteria typically grow at temperatures above 45°C and produce spores that are highly resistant to environmental insults, including high temperatures. Thermophilic spore-formers are encountered in a range of different environments [1] and their spores may be able to survive intense heat treatments, including commercial food sterilization processes used for canning and ultra-high temperature processes applied in the manufacturing of liquid foods. Spores that survive such heat treatments may subsequently germinate, and subsequent growth may result in food spoilage [2,3,4].
