Comparative Genomic Analysis Reveals Preserved Features in Organohalide-Respiring Sulfurospirillum Strains.

ABSTRACT: Sulfurospirillum species strains are frequently detected in various pristine and contaminated environments and participate in carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and halogen elements cycling. Recently we obtained the complete genome sequences of two newly isolated Sulfurospirillum strains, ACS_DCE and ACS_TCE, capable of dechlorinating tetrachloroethene to cis-1,2-dichloroethene and trichloroethene under low-pH conditions, but a detailed analysis of these two genomes in reference to other Sulfurospirillum genomes for an improved understanding of Sulfurospirillum evolution and ecophysiology has not been accomplished. Here, we performed phylogenetic and pangenome analyses with 12 completed Sulfurospirillum genomes, including those of strain
