Abstract

Abstract Thermovirga lienii Dahle and Birkeland 2006 is a member of the genusThermovirga in the genomically moderately well characterized phylum 'Synergistetes '. Members of this relatively recently proposed phylum 'Synergistetes ' are of interest because of their isolated phylogenetic position and their diverse habitats, e.g. from humans to oil wells. The genome ofT. lienii Cas60314T is the fifth genome sequence (third completed) from this phylum to be published. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 1, 999, 646 bp long genome (including one plasmid) with its 1, 914 protein-coding and 59 RNA genes is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
