Complete Genome Sequence of Gelria sp. Strain Kuro-4, a Thermophilic Anaerobe Isolated from a Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion Reactor Treating Poly(L-Lactic Acid).

Strain Kuro-4 was isolated as a novel member of the genus Gelria from a thermophilic anaerobic digestion reactor treating poly(l-lactic acid). Here, we report a 2,880,462-bp complete circular genome sequence of Kuro-4, with a G+C content of 61.9%. The chromosome harbors 2,831 protein-coding genes and 62 RNA-coding genes.

Prokaryotic Community Structures in a Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion Reactor Converting Poly(l-Lactic Acid) for a Long Period Revealed by 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing.

Little information on poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) treatment-associated microbiota in thermophilic anaerobic digestion reactors is available. Here, we provide 16S rRNA gene sequence data on microbiota in a thermophilic anaerobic digestion reactor converting PLLA to methane for 336 days. Data comprising 99,566 total high-quality reads were tabulated at the taxonomic class level.

Draft Genome Sequence of Thermodesulfovibrio sp. Strain Kuro-1, a Thermophilic, Lactate-Degrading Anaerobe Isolated from a Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion Reactor.

Thermodesulfovibrio sp. strain Kuro-1, newly isolated from a thermophilic anaerobic digestion reactor, is a thermophilic anaerobe that can utilize l-lactic acid in fermentation, sulfate respiration, and cocultivation with hydrogenotrophic methanogens. Here, we report its draft genome sequence, consisting of a 1.93-Mb sequence with a G+C content of 34.0%.
