TL;DR
This paper presents the complete genome sequence of Syntrophomonas curvata GB8-1T, a bacterium that breaks down fatty acids in partnership with other microbes under low-energy conditions.
Contribution
The study provides the first complete genome sequence of this syntrophic fatty acid-degrading bacterium.
Findings
The genome offers insights into fatty acid degradation under thermodynamically limiting conditions.
The bacterium requires a hydrogenotrophic partner to metabolize C4–C18 fatty acids.
The genome data may help understand syntrophic interactions in anaerobic environments.
Abstract
The syntrophic fatty acid-degrading bacterium Syntrophomonas curvata strain GB8-1T, isolated from anaerobic granular sludge, metabolizes C4–C18 fatty acids when grown with a suitable hydrogenotrophic partner. The complete genome sequence data provide insight into syntrophic fatty acid compound degradation under thermodynamically limiting conditions when exogenous electron acceptors are absent.
