Abstract

Abstract Desulfurococcus mucosus Zillig and Stetter 1983 is the type species of the genusDesulfurococcus, which belongs to the crenarchaeal familyDesulfurococcaceae . The species is of interest because of its position in the tree of life, its ability for sulfur respiration, and several biotechnologically relevant thermostable and thermoactive extracellular enzymes. This is the third completed genome sequence of a member of the genusDesulfurococcus and already the 8th sequence from a member the familyDesulfurococcaceae . The 1, 314, 639 bp long genome with its 1, 371 protein-coding and 50 RNA genes is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
