Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of high-temperature-adapted Protochlamydia sp. strain HS-T3, an environmental chlamydia. This bacterium is an amoebal endosymbiont, found in Acanthamoeba isolated from a hot spring in Japan. Strain HS-T3 readily grew in mammalian cells at 37°C, a characteristic not previously reported for environmental chlamydiae.
