Abstract

Thermus thermophilus is one of the most studied thermophilic bacteria. In this study, we report the draft genomes of four strains newly isolated from Japanese hot springs. The phylogenetic analysis of T. thermophilus strains isolated from diverse environments suggests a link between geographical distribution and genomic diversity.

Keywords: Thermus thermophilus; draft genome; hot spring; isolates.

Maximum likelihood tree of 81 core genes among strains of T. thermophilus. Labels for nodes with less than 80% bootstrap support were removed. The isolates in this study are highlighted with filled circles. The scale bar represents nucleotide substitutions per site. According to the geographical location of isolation, the strains were classified into the following three groups: black bar, east side of the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line (ISTL); white bar, west side of the ISTL; and gray bar, other areas. Meiothermus ruber RLT was used as the outgroup. Bar, 0.01 substitutions.
