Genome Announc. 2017 Jan 19;5(3):e00380-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00380-16.

Abstract

We report here the draft genome sequence of Hydrogenibacillus schlegelii MA48, a thermophilic facultative anaerobe that can oxidize hydrogen aerobically. H. schlegelii MA48 belongs to a deep-branching clade of the Bacilli class and provides important insight into the acquisition of aerobic respiration within the Firmicutes phylum.
