Life based on phosphite : a Genome-guided analysis of Desulfotignum phosphitoxidans

×

The Delta-Proteobacterium Desulfotignum phosphitoxidans is a type strain of the genus Desulfotignum, which comprises to date only three species together with D. balticum and D. toluenicum. D. phosphitoxidans oxidizes phosphite to phosphate as its only source of electrons, with either sulfate or CO2 as electron acceptor to gain its metabolic energy, which is of exclusive interest. Sequencing of the genome of this bacterium was undertaken to elucidate the genomic basis of this so far unique type of energy metabolism.

Draft genome sequence of Desulfotignum phosphitoxidans DSM 13687 strain FiPS-3

×

We report the 5.008-Mbp assembled draft genome sequence of Desulfotignum phosphitoxidans strain FiPS-3 (DSM 13687), which gains metabolic energy from the oxidation of phosphite to phosphate. Its genome provides insights into the composition and architecture of the phosphite-utilizing and energy-transducing systems required to live with phosphite as electron donor.
