Abstract

Abstract Flexistipes sinusarabici Fialaet al. 2000 is the type species of the genusFlexistipes in the familyDeferribacteraceae . The species is of interest because of its isolated phylogenetic location in a genomically under-characterized region of the tree of life, and because of its origin from a multiply extreme environment; the Atlantis Deep brines of the Red Sea, where it had to struggle with high temperatures, high salinity, and a high concentrations of heavy metals. This is the fourth completed genome sequence to be published of a type strain of the familyDeferribacteraceae . The 2, 526, 590 bp long genome with its 2, 346 protein-coding and 53 RNA genes is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
