Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1 WGS
Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1 is an extremely thermophilic anaerobe isolated from a hot spring in Indonesia. This bacterium could degrade native chicken feathers completely at 70 celcius within 48 h, which is of potential importance on the basis of relevant environmental and agricultural issues in bioremediation and development of eco-friendly bioprocesses for the treatment of native feathers. We sequenced the genome of Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1 using the PacBio RS II platform and performed genome-wide methylation motif analysis.
