Draft genome of a member of hydrogenogenic carbon monoxide utilizers, isolated from a freshwater lake sediment.

is a facultatively anaerobic thermophile and possesses carbon monoxide dehydrogenase and hydrogenase for carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation and hydrogen production, respectively. In this study, we report a draft genome of isolated from a freshwater sediment, expanding our knowledge on the distribution of CO utilizers.

Construction of multiple metagenome assembled genomes containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases from anaerobic carbon monoxide enrichment cultures.

Despite its toxicity to many organisms, including most prokaryotes, carbon monoxide (CO) is utilized by some aerobic and anaerobic prokaryotes. Hydrogenogenic CO utilizers employ carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) and energy-converting hydrogenase (ECH) to oxidize CO and reduce protons to produce H. Those prokaryotes constitute a rare biosphere and are difficult to detect even with PCR amplification and with metagenomic analyses.

Draft Genome Sequence of Thermolongibacillus altinsuensis Strain B1-1, a Novel Hydrogenogenic CO Oxidizer Isolated from Sediment from Lake Biwa in Japan.

A facultative anaerobic, thermophilic, hydrogenogenic CO-oxidizing bacterial strain, B1-1, was isolated from a sediment sample from Lake Biwa, a freshwater lake in Japan. B1-1, which is a novel strain of Thermolongibacillus altinsuensis, is capable of hydrogenogenic CO oxidation. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B1-1 (2.
