Thermovibrio ammonificans HB-1 genome sequencing
<P><B><I>Thermovibrio ammonificans</I> HB-1</B>.  The isolation and characterization of microorganisms that are thermophilic, anaerobic, and chemolithoautotrophic (getting energy by oxidizing inorganic compounds) is critical to understand the ecology and biogeochemistry of geothermal environments. This genome will be used for comparative analysis.
