Abstract

Acetomicrobium hydrogeniformans, an obligate anaerobe of the phylum Synergistetes, was isolated from oil production water. It has the unusual ability to produce almost 4 molecules H₂/molecule glucose. The draft genome of A. hydrogeniformans OS1 (DSM 22491^T) is 2,123,925 bp, with 2,068 coding sequences and 60 RNA genes.
