# Complete genome sequence of the Niallia sp. strain Kr1, a bacterium isolated from a geothermal power plant in Iceland

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a new bacterial species from a geothermal site in Iceland.

## Contribution

The study provides the complete genome sequence of a potentially new Niallia species.

## Key findings

- The genome of Niallia sp. strain Kr1 was fully sequenced.
- The bacterium was isolated from geothermal fluids in Iceland.
- The strain is gram-negative and spore-forming.

## Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of the Niallia sp. strain Kr1, a gram-negative, spore-forming bacterium isolated from the geothermal fluids of an Icelandic geothermal power plant injection well. This strain belongs to a putative new species within the Niallia genus.
