title: Draft Genome Sequence of Hydrogenibacillus schlegelii MA48, a Deep-Branching Member of the Bacilli Class of Firmicutes.
abstract: We report here the draft genome sequence of Hydrogenibacillus schlegelii MA48, a thermophilic facultative anaerobe that can oxidize hydrogen aerobically. H. schlegelii MA48 belongs to a deep-branching clade of the Bacilli class and provides important insight into the acquisition of aerobic respiration within the Firmicutes phylum.
