Draft Genome Sequence of Desulfotignum phosphitoxidans DSM 13687 Strain FiPS-3

Genome Announc. 2013 May 23;1(3):e00227-13. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00227-13.

Abstract

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.
