Abstract

The thermophilic 'Geobacilli' are important sources of thermostable enzymes and other biotechnologically relevant macromolecules. The present work reports the high quality draft genome sequences of previously unsequenced type strains of Geobacillus uzenensis (DSM 23175^T), G. thermocatenulatus (DSM 730^T) and Parageobacillus galactosidasius (DSM 18751^T). Phylogenomic analyses revealed that DSM 18751^T and DSM 23175^T represent later heterotypic synonyms of P. toebii and G. subterraneus, respectively, while DSM 730^T represents the type strain for the species G. thermocatenulatus. These genome sequences will contribute towards a deeper understanding of the ecological and biological diversity and the biotechnological exploitation of the 'geobacilli'.
