title: Draft Genome Sequence of Comamonas thiooxydans Strain S23T (DSM 17888T), a Thiosulfate-Oxidizing Bacterium Isolated from a Sulfur Spring in India.
abstract: The genus Comamonas contains species isolated from various environments, such as termite guts, wetlands, activated sludge, soil, humans, and fresh water. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Comamonas thiooxydans strain S23(T) capable of oxidizing thiosulfate under mixotrophic growth conditions. Based upon draft genome sequencing, the genome is 5.3 Mb and encodes 4,767 proteins. The Comamonas thiooxydans whole-genome sequence will help understand the metabolic diversity in sulfur oxidation pathways.
