Draft genome sequence of Desulfobacterota strain M19, a mesophilic sulfur-disproportionating bacterium from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge

The draft genome sequence of Desulfobacterota strain M19, likely representing a new genus, is reported. It was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent and is capable of autotrophic growth by anaerobic disproportionation of elemental sulfur. Its genome has been sequenced because there are few publicly available genomes of sulfur-disproportionators.
