Draft genome sequence for the type strain Vulcanibacillus modesticaldus BR, a strictly anaerobic, moderately thermophilic, and nitratereducing bacterium isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal vents of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Abstract

Vulcanibacillus modesticaldus BRT was isolated from calcite-rich, metalliferous core samples collected at the Rainbow deep-sea hydrothermal vent field on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Here, we report the 2.2-Mb draft genome sequence for this strain, consisting of 100 contigs with a G+C content of 33.6% and 2,227 protein-coding sequences.
