First Complete Genome Sequence of a Subdivision 6 Acidobacterium Strain

ABSTRACT Although ubiquitous and abundant in soils, acidobacteriahave mostly escaped isolation and remain poorly investigated. Only a few cultured representatives and just eight genomes of subdivisions1, 3, and 4 are available to date. Here, we determined the complete genome sequence of strain HEG_-6_39, the first genome of Acidobacterium subdivision6.
