Draft genome sequence of Leptolinea tardivitalis YMTK-2, a mesophilic anaerobe from the Chloroflexi Class Anaerolineae

Abstract

We present the draft genome sequence of Leptolinea tardivitalis YMTK-2, a member of the Chloroflexi phylum. This organism was initially characterized as a strictly anaerobic nonmotile fermenter; however, genome analysis demonstrates that it encodes for a flagella and might be capable of aerobic respiration.
