Draft genome sequence of the electricigen Acidiphilium sp. strain PM (DSM 24941)

J Bacteriol. 2011 Oct;193(19):5585-6. doi: 10.1128/JB.05386-11.

Abstract

Acidiphilium sp. strain PM (DSM 24941) was isolated from Rio Tinto's acidic, heavy metal-rich waters. Voltammetry experiments revealed that this strain is capable of electricity production even under aerobic conditions. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Acidiphilium sp. PM and a preliminary genome analysis that reveals a versatile respiratory metabolism.
