title: Complete genome sequence and whole-genome phylogeny ofKosmotoga pacificatype strain SLHLJ1Tfrom an East Pacific hydrothermal sediment.
abstract: Kosmotoga pacificastrain SLHLJ1Tis a thermophilic chemoorganoheterotrophic bacterium isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal sediment. It belongs to the physiologically homogeneousThermotogaceaefamily. Here, we describe the phenotypic features ofK. pacificatogether with its genome sequence and annotation. The chromosome has 2,169,170 bp, organized in one contig. A total of 1897 candidate protein-encoding genes and 177 RNA genes were identified. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of this strain is distantly related to sequences of some relatives classified in the same genus (K. olearia7.02% andK. shengliensis7.83%), with dissimilarity percentages close to the threshold generally described for genus delineation. Nevertheless, the percentage of conserved proteins (POCP), which is much higher than 50% (around 70%), together with phenotypic features of the isolates, confirm the affiliation allKosmotogaspecies described so far to the same genus.
