Complete Genome Sequences of Desulfosporosinus orientis DSM765^T, Desulfosporosinus youngiae DSM17734^T, Desulfosporosinus meridiei DSM13257^T, and Desulfosporosinus acidiphilus DSM22704^T

Abstract

Desulfosporosinus species are sulfate-reducing bacteria belonging to the Firmicutes. Their genomes will give insights into the genetic repertoire and evolution of sulfate reducers typically thriving in terrestrial environments and able to degrade toluene (Desulfosporosinus youngiae), to reduce Fe(III) (Desulfosporosinus meridiei, Desulfosporosinus orientis), and to grow under acidic conditions (Desulfosporosinus acidiphilus).
