Draft Genome Sequence Of A Member Of A Putatively Novel Rubrobacteraceae Genus From Lava Tubes In Lava Beds National Monument

We report the draft genome sequence of a member of a potentially novel genus of Rubrobacteraceae isolated from Golden Dome Cave in Lava Beds National Monument. Members of this family are known to inhabit thermophilic environments.

The metagenome-assembled genome presented here helps illuminate the genetic capacity of basaltic lava tube environments.

From the outer to inner ring of this Circos metagenome-assembled genome plot: green bars represent the contigs of this MAG, while the red bar is the approximate amount of DNA missing, with ticks indicating contig length in kbp; GC content of 1,000 bp windows from the mean GC of the entire MAG; the location of the 16S rRNA gene (triangle); and the location of tRNA genes (asterisk). This plot was generated with Koonkie Inc. circos_mag software (https://github.com/Koonkie-Cloud-Services/circos_mag) and Circos (9). — Microbial Ecology
