Abstract

Tepidimonas taiwanensis strain MB2 is a thermophile isolated from a hot spring located in central India. Here, we report a 28,49,160 bp draft genome sequence of Tepidimonas taiwanensis MB2. The genome shows properties of sulfur metabolism, nitrogen fixation, ammonia metabolism, assimilation of organic acids, and a wide variety of proteases.
