Draft genome sequence of chloracidobacterium sp. CP2_5A, a phototrophic member of the phylum acidobacteria recovered from a Japanese hot spring

Abstract

The phylum Acidobacteria contains a single known phototrophic member, Chloracidobacterium thermophilum, which was recovered from a hot spring metagenome from Yellowstone National Park. Here, we expand the diversity of the genus Chloracidobacterium with a genome recovered from a hot spring in Japan, extending the known range of this lineage to a new continent.
