Permanent draft genome of Thermithiobaclillus tepidarius DSM 3134^T, a moderately thermophilic, obligately chemolithoautotrophic member of the Acidithiobacillia.

ABSTRACT: Thermithiobacillus tepidarius DSM 3134^T was originally isolated (1983) from the waters of a sulfidic spring entering the Roman Baths (Temple of Sulis-Minerva) at Bath, United Kingdom and is an obligate chemolithoautotroph growing at the expense of reduced sulfur species. This strain has a genome size of 2,958,498 bp. Here we report the genome sequence, annotation and characteristics. The genome comprises 2,902 protein coding and 66 RNA coding genes. Genes responsible for the transaldolase variant of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle were identified along with a biosynthetic horseshoe in lieu of Krebs' cycle sensu stricto. Terminal oxidases were identified, viz. cytochrome c oxidase (cbb₃, EC 1.9.3.1) and ubiquinol oxidase (bd
