Abstract

Carboxydothermus spp. are some of the most studied carbon monoxide-oxidizing anaerobic thermophiles. For further investigation into the carbon monoxide metabolism of Carboxydothermus spp., we report here the draft genome sequences of the hydrogenogenic carboxydotrophs Carboxydothermus pertinax (2.47 Mb; G+C content, 40.7%) and C. islandicus (2.39 Mb; G+C content, 42.0%).
