Draft genome sequence of the nominated type strain of "Ferrovum myxofaciens," an acidophilic, iron-oxidizing betaproteobacterium

Abstract

Ferrovum myxofaciens” is an iron-oxidizing betaproteobacterium with widespread distribution in acidic low-temperature en vironments, such as acid mine drainage streams. Here, we describe the genomic features of this novel acidophile and investigate the relevant metabolic pathways that enable its survival in these environments.
