Complete Genome Sequence of Dehalococcoides mccartyi Strain FL2, a Trichloroethene-Respiring Anaerobe Isolated from Pristine Freshwater Sediment

Abstract

Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain FL2 couples growth to hydrogen oxidation and reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene and cis - and trans -1,2-dichloroethenes. Strain FL2 has a 1.42-Mb genome with a G+C content of 47.0% and carries 1,465 protein-coding sequences, including 24 reductive dehalogenase genes.
