Abstract

Abstract Desulfobacca acetoxidans Elferinket al. 1999 is the type species of the genusDesulfobacca, which belongs to the familySyntrophaceae in the classDeltaproteobacteria . The species was first observed in a study on the competition of sulfate-reducers and acetoclastic methanogens for acetate in sludge.D. acetoxidans is considered to be the most abundant acetate-degrading sulfate reducer in sludge. It is of interest due to its isolated phylogenetic location in the 16S rRNA-based tree of life. This is the second completed genome sequence of a member of the familySyntrophaceae to be published and only the third genome sequence from a member of the orderSyntrophobacterales . The 3, 282, 536 bp long genome with its 2, 969 protein-coding and 54 RNA genes is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
