Abstract

Abstract Desulfarculus baarsii (Widdel 1981) Kueveret al. 2006 is the type and only species of the genusDesulfarculus, which represents the familyDesulfarculaceae and the orderDesulfarculales . This species is a mesophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium with the capability to oxidize acetate and fatty acids of up to 18 carbon atoms completely to CO2 . The acetyl-CoA/CODH (Wood-Ljungdahl) pathway is used by this species for the complete oxidation of carbon sources and autotrophic growth on formate. The type strain 2st14T was isolated from a ditch sediment collected near the University of Konstanz, Germany. This is the first completed genome sequence of a member of the orderDesulfarculales . The 3, 655, 731 bp long single replicon genome with its 3, 303 protein-coding and 52 RNA genes is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
