First Complete Genome Sequence of a Subdivision 6 Acidobacterium Strain

Genome Announc. 2016 May 26;4(3):e00469-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00469-16.

Abstract

Although ubiquitous and abundant in soils, acidobacteria have mostly escaped isolation and remain poorly investigated. Only a few cultured representatives and just eight genomes of subdivisions 1, 3, and 4 are available to date. Here, we determined the complete genome sequence of strain HEG_-6_39, the first genome of Acidobacterium subdivision 6.
