Complete Genome Sequence of Desulfuromonas sp. Strain AOP6, an Iron(III) Reducer Isolated from Subseafloor Sediment

Abstract

Desulfuromonas sp. strain AOP6, with iron(III)-reducing activity, was isolated from subseafloor sediment in Nankai Trough. We report the complete genome of this strain determined by Illumina MiSeq sequencing and PCR/Sanger sequencing-based gap closing. The genome includes the genes encoding c -type cytochromes, type IV pili, and fatty acid degradation enzymes.
