Complete genome sequence of Thermocrinis albus type strain (HI 11/12).

Thermocrinis albus Eder and Huber 2002 is one of three species in the genus Thermocrinis in the family Aquificaceae. Members of this family have become of significant interest because of their involvement in global biogeochemical cycles in high-temperature ecosystems. This interest had already spurred several genome sequencing projects for members of the family.

Complete genome sequence of Kribbella flavida type strain (IFO 14399).
