Abstract A sulfur-oxidizing chemolithoautotrophic bacterium, Sulfurovum lithotrophicum 42BKT T , isolated from hydrothermal sediments in Okinawa, Japan, has been used industrially for CO 2 bio-mitigation owing to its ability to convert CO 2 into C 5 H 8 NO 4 − at a high rate of specific mitigation (0.42 g CO 2 /cell/h). The genome of S. lithotrophicum 42BKT T comprised of a single chromosome of 2217,891 bp with 2217 genes, including 2146 protein-coding genes and 54 RNA genes. Here, we present its complete genome-sequence information, including information about the genes encoding enzymes involved in CO 2 fixation and sulfur oxidation.
