Key Points

To present the draft genome sequence of Petrotoga sp. DB-2, focusing on its characteristics and relevance to Fe(III) reduction.
Isolation from Fateh oil field
Genome sequencing and assembly
Analysis of GC content and gene count
Draft genome consists of 2,179,419 bp
GC content is 33.96%
Genome contains 2,141 genes

Implication

Genome sequencing reveals key genetic information in Petrotoga sp. DB-2, suggesting potential applications in subsurface bioremediation.

Abstract

Petrotoga sp. DB-2 is a thermophilic, strictly anaerobic Fe(III)-reducing bacterium isolated from the Fateh oil field, United Arab Emirates. The draft genome is 2,179,419 bp with a GC content of 33.96% and contains 2,141 genes. This genome provides information for future studies of Fe(III) reduction in deep subsurface environments.
