Complete genome sequence for the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfuracidifex (f. Sulfolobus) metallicus DSM 6482.

ABSTRACT: Reported here is the complete genome sequence (2,191,724 bp) for the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfuracidifex (f. Sulfolobus) metallicus DSM 6482 (T_opt 65°C, pH_opt 2.0). This obligately chemolithoautotrophic microorganism is a prolific metal and sulfur oxidizer and has application in metal bioleaching operations. A multi-assembly reconciliation approach enabled closure of the genome.
