Draft Genome Sequences Of Acidithrix Sp. Strain C25 And Acidocella Sp. Strain C78, Acidophiles Isolated From Iron-Rich Pelagic Aggregates (Iron Snow)

We report the draft genome sequences of two acidophiles, the Fe-oxidizing bacterium Acidithrix sp. strain C25 and the putative Fe-reducing Acidocella sp. strain C78. Both strains were isolated from iron-rich pelagic aggregates (iron snow) collected below the redoxcline at a 5-m depth in an acidic pit lake located in Germany (51 degrees 31'8.2 '' N, 13 degrees 41'34.7 '' E).
