Abstract

Strain UUS1-1 (=JCM33882 =DSM111537) is a novel chitinolytic, thermophilic, anaerobic bacterium belonging to the genus Hydrogenispora of the uncultured taxonomic OPB54 cluster within the phylum Firmicutes. Strain UUS1-1 has a unique, long, hair-like rod morphology and a strong ability to degrade crystalline chitin. The whole genome of strain UUS1-1 was sequenced on an Ion GeneStudio S5 system, which yielded 86 contigs comprising 2,482,547 bp, 2235 protein-coding sequences, and a G+C content of 52.1 mol%. Strain UUS1-1 is the second cultivable isolate, besides H. ethanolica, within the OPB54 cluster and may be classified as a novel species. The genomic data have been deposited at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) under accession number JAAKDE00000000.
