Abstract

The spore-forming, thermophilic, and obligate anaerobic bacterium Moorella stamsii was isolated from digester sludge. Apart from its ability to use carbon monoxide for growth, M. stamsii harbors several enzymes for the use of different sugars. The draft genome has a size of 3,329 Mb and contains 3,306 predicted protein-encoding genes.
