Abstract

Here, we describe the genome of Desulfovibrio sulfodismutans ThAc01, a Desulfobacterota member first isolated from freshwater mud and the first strain reported to be capable of growth via sulfur disproportionation. As such, this genome expands our understanding of the diversity of sulfur-disproportionating microorganisms.
