Thermosulfurimonas marina strain SU872^T is a thermophilic, anaerobic, chemolithoautotrophic bacterium, isolated from a shallow-sea hydrothermal vent in the Pacific Ocean near Kunashir Island, that is able to grow by disproportionation of inorganic sulfur compounds and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium. Here we report the complete genome sequence of strain SU872^T, which presents one circular chromosome of 1,763,258 bp with a mean G + C content of 58.9 mol%. The complete genome harbors 1827 predicted protein-encoding genes, 47 tRNA genes and 3 rRNA genes. Genes involved in sulfur and nitrogen metabolism were identified. This study expands our knowledge of sulfur and nitrogen use in energy metabolism of high temperatures areas of shallow-sea hydrothermal environments. In order to highlight Thermosulfurimonas marina metabolic features, its genome was compared with that of Thermosulfurimonas dismutans, the only other species described within the Thermosulfurimonas genus.

Thermosulfurimonas marina菌株 SU872 ^T是一种嗜热、厌氧、化学自养细菌，从国后岛附近太平洋的浅海热液喷口中分离出来，能够通过无机硫化合物的歧化和硝酸盐异化还原为铵而生长。在这里我们报告了菌株 SU872 ^T的完整基因组序列，呈现一条 1,763,258 bp 的环状染色体，平均 G + C 含量为 58.9 mol%。完整的基因组包含 1827 个预测的蛋白质编码基因、47 个 tRNA 基因和 3 个 rRNA 基因。鉴定了参与硫和氮代谢的基因。这项研究扩展了我们对硫和氮在浅海热液环境高温区域能量代谢中使用的知识。为了突出Thermosulfurimonas码头代谢功能，它的基因组与比较Thermosulfurimonas dismutans，唯一的其他物种中描述Thermosulfurimonas属。
