title: Draft genome sequence of Hydrogenovibrio marinus MH-110, a model organism for aerobic H2 metabolism.
abstract: Hydrogenovibrio marinus, an obligate chemolithoautotroph isolated from oceanic surface water, is a Knallgas bacterium that conserves energy by oxidizing H2 in the presence of O2. The strain possesses a periplasmic membrane-bound respiratory [NiFe]-hydrogenase with high O2 tolerance, hence is of great biotechnological importance in the development of H2-based technologies for a promising alternative energy. Here, we report the draft genome of H. marinus MH-110, providing genomic information on the biosynthesis of the hydrogenase, aerobic H2 metabolism, and autotrophic carbon assimilation.
