# Complete genome sequence of strain M4-SHS-6, a potential new member of the genus Acidithiobacillus

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a new sulfur-oxidizing bacterium, M4-SHS-6, which could belong to the Acidithiobacillus genus.

## Contribution

The study provides a complete genome sequence of a potential new Acidithiobacillus strain using hybrid sequencing technology.

## Key findings

- The genome includes one circular chromosome and two circular plasmids.
- Hybrid sequencing (Illumina and Nanopore) was used for genome assembly.

## Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of strain M4-SHS-6, a potential chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium. The genome comprises one circular chromosome and two circular plasmids, assembled through hybrid sequencing (Illumina and Nanopore).
