Draft genome sequence of Telmatospirillum siberiense 26-4b1, an acidotolerant peatland alphaproteobacterium potentially involved in sulfur cycling

Abstract

The facultative anaerobic chemoorganoheterotrophic alphaproteobacterium Telmatospirillum siberiense 26-4b1 was isolated from a Siberian peatland. We report here a 6.20-Mbp near-complete high-quality draft genome sequence of T. siberiense that reveals expected and novel metabolic potential for the genus Telmatospirillum, including genes for sulfur oxidation.
