Abstract

We report the draft genome sequences of two acidophiles, the Fe-oxidizing bacterium Acidithrix sp. strain C25 and the putative Fe-reducing Acidocella sp. strain C78. Both strains were isolated from iron-rich pelagic aggregates (iron snow) collected below the redoxcline at a 5-m depth in an acidic pit lake located in Germany (51°31'8.2″N, 13°41'34.7″E).
