Complete genome sequence of the Sulfodiicoccus acidiphilus strain HS-1^T, the first crenarchaeon that lacks polB3, isolated from an acidic hot spring in Ohwaku-dani, Hakone, Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Sulfodiicoccus acidiphilus HS-1^T is the type species of the genus Sulfodiicoccus, a thermoacidophilic archaeon belonging to the order Sulfolobales (class Thermoprotei; phylum Crenarchaeota). While S. acidiphilus HS-1^T shares many common physiological and phenotypic features with other Sulfolobales species, the similarities in their 16S rRNA gene sequences are less than 89%. In order to know the genomic features of S. acidiphilus HS-1^T in the order Sulfolobales, we determined and characterized the genome of this strain.

Results

The circular genome of S. acidiphilus HS-1^T is comprised of 2353,189 bp with a G+C content of 51.15 mol%. A total of 2459 genes were predicted, including 2411 protein coding and 48 RNA genes. The no
