Draft Genome Sequence of Thermolongibacillus altinsuensis Strain B1-1, a Novel Hydrogenogenic CO Oxidizer Isolated from Sediment from Lake Biwa in Japan.

A facultative anaerobic, thermophilic, hydrogenogenic CO-oxidizing bacterial strain, B1-1, was isolated from a sediment sample from Lake Biwa, a freshwater lake in Japan. B1-1, which is a novel strain of Thermolongibacillus altinsuensis, is capable of hydrogenogenic CO oxidation. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B1-1 (2.92 Mbp, with a GC content of 41.3%).
