Abstract

Abstract Sulfurimonas autotrophica Inagakiet al. 2003 is the type species of the genusSulfurimonas . This genus is of interest because of its significant contribution to the global sulfur cycle as it oxidizes sulfur compounds to sulfate and by its apparent habitation of deep-sea hydrothermal and marine sulfidic environments as potential ecological niche. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. This is the second complete genome sequence of the genusSulfurimonas and the 15th genome in the familyHelicobacteraceae . The 2, 153, 198 bp long genome with its 2, 165 protein-coding and 55 RNA genes is part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
