Draft Genome Sequence of Caloranaerobacter sp. TR13, an Anaerobic Thermophilic Bacterium Isolated from a Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent.

Here, we report the draft 2,261,881-bp genome sequence of Caloranaerobacter sp. TR13, isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the East Pacific Rise. The sequence will be helpful for understanding the genetic and metabolic features, as well as potential biotechnological application in the genus Caloranaerobacter.

Draft genome sequence of Thermococcus sp. EP1, a novel hyperthermophilic archaeon isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the East Pacific Rise.

Thermococcus sp. strain EP1 is a novel anaerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the East Pacific Rise. It grows optimally at 80 °C and can produce industrial enzymes at high temperature.

Actibacterium atlanticum sp. nov., isolated from surface seawater of the Atlantic Ocean.

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain 22II-S11-z10(T), which was isolated from the surface seawater of the Atlantic Ocean. The bacterium was found to be Gram-stain negative, oxidase and catalase positive, oval- to rod-shaped and non-motile. Growth was observed at salinities of 0.

Aquimarina atlantica sp. nov., isolated from surface seawater of the Atlantic Ocean.

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain 22II-S11-z7(T), which was isolated from the surface seawater of the Atlantic Ocean. The bacterium was found to be Gram-negative, oxidase negative and catalase positive, long-rod shaped, and gliding. Growth was observed at salinities of 1-5 % and at temperatures of 10-41 °C.
