Tepidimonas taiwanensis strain:VT154-175 Genome sequencing and assembly. Tepidimonas taiwanensis strain:VT154-175

The microbial characterization of hot and tepid springs is particularly important for understanding first steps of life on the primordial Earth, as well as for the discovery of novel taxa useful for the advancement in several biotechnology fields, including those strictly related to bioremediation, environmental health, ecology. In this context, genome projects dedicated to extremophilic bacteria can support analysis of biological evolution and adaptation to these specific environments. Genetic data can be easily linked to biochemical and functional issues, triggering technical innovation in many biological, medical and industrial fields.
