Complete Genome Sequence of Anaeromyxobacter sp. Fw109-5, an Anaerobic, Metal-Reducing Bacterium Isolated from a Contaminated Subsurface Environment

Abstract

We report the genome sequence of Anaeromyxobacter sp. Fw109-5, isolated from nitrate- and uranium-contaminated subsurface sediment of the Oak Ridge Integrated Field-Scale Subsurface Research Challenge (IFC) site, Oak Ridge Reservation, TN. The bacterium’s genome sequence will elucidate its physiological potential in subsurface sediments undergoing in situ uranium bioremediation and natural attenuation.

Myxobacterial Genomics and Post-Genomics: A Review of Genome Biology, Genome Sequences and Related ‘Omics Studies

“…After the publication of the A. dehalogenans 2CP-C genome sequence in 2006 [ 17 ], genome sequences for a further three members of the genus were made public between 2007 and 2009, with one of those genomes ( Anaeromyxobacter sp. Fw109-5) subsequently being described in the literature [ 28 ]. Anaeromyxobacter is an unusual myxobacterial genus as its members do not produce multicellular fruits and they have small genomes for myxobacteria—typically approximately 5 Mbp.…”

Complete Genome Sequence of the Fruiting Myxobacterium Myxococcus macrosporus Strain DSM 14697, Generated by PacBio Sequencing

“…Only 20 genomes of the Myxococcales have been completely sequenced ( 5 , 8 – 24 ). In addition, 36 Myxococcales draft genomes are available ( 25 – 32 ).…”

Whole-Genome Sequence of the Fruiting Myxobacterium Cystobacter fuscus DSM 52655

“…So far, 20 complete genomes and 36 draft genomes from members of the Myxococcales order are available ( 5 , 8 – 32 ). To generate additional resources for accurate genome comparisons, we sequenced and annotated the complete genome of Cystobacter fuscus DSM 52655, which was obtained from Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH.…”
