Complete genome sequence of the moderate thermophile anaerobaculum mobile type strain (NGAT)

Abstract

Anaerobaculum mobile Menes and Muxí 2002 is one of three described species of the genus Anaerobaculum, family Synergistaceae, phylum Synergistetes. This anaerobic and motile bac-terium ferments a range of carbohydrates and mono-and dicarboxylic acids with acetate, hy-drogen and CO2as end products. A. mobile NGAT is the first member of the genus Anaerobaculum and the sixth member of the phylum Synergistetes with a completely se-quenced genome. Here we describe the features of this bacterium, together with the com-plete genome sequence, and annotation. The 2,160,700 bp long single replicon genome with its 2,053 protein-coding and 56 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
