Draft genome sequence of Herpetosiphon geysericola GC-42, a nonphototrophic member of the Chloroflexi Class Chloroflexia

Abstract

We report here the draft genome sequence of Herpetosiphon geysericola GC-42, a predatory nonphototrophic member of the class Chloroflexia in the phylum Chloroflexi. This genome provides insight into the evolution of phototrophy and aerobic respiration within the Chloroflexi.
