Abstract

Abstract Ktedonobacter racemifer corrig. Cavalettiet al. 2007 is the type species of the genusKtedonobacter, which in turn is the type genus of the familyKtedonobacteraceae, the type family of the orderKtedonobacterales within the classKtedonobacteria in the phylum 'Chloroflexi '. AlthoughK. racemifer shares some morphological features with the actinobacteria, it is of special interest because it was the first cultivated representative of a deep branching unclassified lineage of otherwise uncultivated environmental phylotypes tentatively located within the phylum 'Chloroflexi '. The aerobic, filamentous, non-motile, spore-forming Gram-positive heterotroph was isolated from soil in Italy. The 13, 661, 586 bp long non-contiguous finished genome consists of ten contigs and is the first reported genome sequence from a member of the classKtedonobacteria . With its 11, 453 protein-coding and 87 RNA genes, it is the largest prokaryotic genome reported so far. It comprises a large number of over-represented COGs, particularly genes associated with transposons, causing the genetic redundancy within the genome being considerably larger than expected by chance. This work is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
