Abstract

Abstract Thermanaerovibrio velox Zavarzinaet al. 2000 is a member of theSynergistaceae, a family in the phylumSynergistetes that is already well-characterized at the genome level. Members of this phylum were described as Gram-negative staining anaerobic bacteria with a rod/vibrioid cell shape and possessing an atypical outer cell envelope. They inhabit a large variety of anaerobic environments including soil, oil wells, wastewater treatment plants and animal gastrointestinal tracts. They are also found to be linked to sites of human diseases such as cysts, abscesses, and areas of periodontal disease. The moderately thermophilic and organotrophicT. velox shares most of its morphologic and physiologic features with the closely related species, T. acidaminovorans . In addition to Su883T, the type strain ofT. acidaminovorans, stain Z-9701T is the second type strain in the genusThermanaerovibrio to have its genome sequence published. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the non-contiguous genome sequence and annotation. The 1, 880, 838 bp long chromosome (non-contiguous finished sequence) with its 1, 751 protein-coding and 59 RNA genes is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
