Draft Genome Sequence of Fervidicella metallireducens Strain AeBT, an Iron-Reducing Thermoanaerobe from the Great Artesian Basin.
The genome sequence of Fervidicella metallireducens strain AeB(T), a curved, heterotrophic, thermoanaerobic, and iron-reducing bacterium isolated from a gray microbial mat colonizing the free-flowing waters of a Great Artesian Basin (GAB) bore well located in outback Queensland, Australia, is reported here. The analysis of the 2.9-Mb sequence indicates that the attributes of the genome are consistent with its physiological and phenotypic traits.
