Draft Genome Sequence of a Highly Flagellated Fast-Swimming Archaeon Methanocaldococcus villosus Strain KIN24-T80 (DSM 22612)

摘要

We report the draft genome sequence of a hyperthermophilic Methanocaldococcus villosus strain, KIN24-T80. The gene associated with its heavy flagellum formation was annotated in the 1.2-Mb draft genome sequence, and this strain may be a good model system to study the extensive functional role of flagella and their fast motor activity.
