Complete genomes of Rhodobacter sphaeroides DSM158 and its substrain H2

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: DSM158 substrain H2 (SubH2) has the potential to produce photoheterotrophic hydrogen gas from wastewater. We present two annotated hybrid genome assemblies for strain DSM158 and its laboratory-derived substrain H2 based on Illumina and MinION reads. Both assemblies consist of two chromosomes and four plasmids and show >99% BUSCO completeness.
