Abstract:
Cable bacteria conduct long-distance electron transport in sediments but are not yet isolated in pure culture. We report the metagenome-assembled genome of Candidatus Electrothrix sp. NPCB-01 from Newport Bay, California. This 3.46-Mb genome encodes sulfur oxidation, nitrogen and carbon metabolism, and nickel homeostasis genes, expanding resources for these electroactive microbes.
