Draft Genome Sequence of Desulfofundulus thermobenzoicus subsp. thermosyntrophicus DSM 14055, a Moderately Thermophilic Sulfate Reducer.

Here, we describe the genome of Desulfofundulus thermobenzoicus subsp. thermosyntrophicus DSM 14055, a member of the Clostridiales that is capable of sulfate reduction coupled to the oxidation of propionate, lactate, pyruvate, and H2/CO2 This genome expands our understanding of microbial sulfate reduction (MSR) in anaerobic methanogenic environments.
