Draft Genome Sequence of a Novel Thermofilum sp. Strain from a New Zealand Hot Spring Enrichment Culture

Abstract

A draft genome of a new Thermofilum sp. strain was obtained from an enrichment culture metagenome. Like its relatives, Thermofilum sp. strain NZ13 is adapted to organic-rich thermal environments and has to depend on other organisms and the environment for some key amino acids, purines, and cofactors.
