Complete genome sequence of Ignisphaera aggregans type strain (AQ1.S1 T )

and sole species of genus Ignisphaera . This archaeal species is characterized by a coccoid-shape and is strictly anaerobic, moderately acidophilic, heterotrophic hyperthermophilic and fermentative. The type strain AQ1.S1 T was isolated from a near neutral, boiling spring in Kuirau Park, Rotorua, New Zealand. This is the first completed genome sequence of the genus Ignisphaera and the fifth genome (fourth type strain) sequence in the family Desulfurococcaceae . The 1,875,953 bp long genome with its 2,009 protein-coding and 52 RNA genes is a part of the G enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
