Abstract

Anaerobic alkane metabolism is critical in multiple environmental and industrial sectors, including environmental remediation, energy production, refined fuel stability, and biocorrosion. Here, we report the complete gap-closed genome sequence for a model n-alkane-degrading anaerobe, Desulfoglaeba alkanexedens ALDC.
