AI Article Synopsis
- Trimyema compressum is a free-living ciliate found in oxygen-free (anoxic) freshwater ecosystems that hosts methanogenic archaea and a bacterial symbiont known as TC1 in its cells.
- The TC1 symbiont's entire genome has been sequenced, revealing a 1.59-Mb chromosome and a 35.8-kb plasmid.
- This sequencing was accomplished using the advanced PacBio RSII technology.
Article Abstract
A free-living ciliate, Trimyema compressum, found in anoxic freshwater environments harbors methanogenic archaea and a bacterial symbiont named TC1 in its cytoplasm. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the TC1 symbiont, consisting of a 1.59-Mb chromosome and a 35.8-kb plasmid, which was determined using the PacBio RSII sequencer.
