Genome analysis of a Clostridia bacterium, Helicovermis profunda S502
A novel mesophilic, obligately anaerobic Clostridia bacterium, designated strain S502, was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney at the Suiyo Seamount in the Izu-Bonin Arc, Japan. As an effort to address the metabolic repertoire and phylogenetic property of strain S502, we performed whole genome analysis.
