## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a new sulfate-reducing bacterium, Desulfovibrio sp. strain TCA, isolated from river sediment.

## Contribution

The study provides the complete genome sequence of a newly identified Desulfovibrio strain from river sediment.

## Key findings

- The genome contains a 3.5 Mb chromosome with 66.2% G + C content.
- A 3.2 kb plasmid with 59.9% G + C content was also identified.

## Abstract

A new member affiliated with the genus Desulfovibrio, designated as strain TCA, was isolated from a dechlorinating enrichment culture originating from a freshwater river sediment. Its genome includes a 3.5 Mb chromosome with a G + C content of 66.2% and a 3.2 kb plasmid with a G + C content of 59.9%.

## Full-text entities

- **Chemicals:** sulfate (MESH:D013431)
- **Species:** Desulfovibrio (genus) [taxon 872]
