Thauera aminoaromatica strain MZ1T, an isolate belonging to genus Thauera, of the family Rhodocyclaceae and the class the Betaproteobacteria, has been characterized for its ability to produce abundant exopolysaccharide and degrade various aromatic compounds with nitrate as an electron acceptor. These properties, if fully understood at the genome-sequence level, can aid in environmental processing of organic matter in anaerobic cycles by short-circuiting a central anaerobic metabolite, acetate, from microbiological conversion to methane, a critical greenhouse gas. Strain MZ1T is the first strain from the genus Thauera with a completely sequenced genome. The 4,496,212 bp chromosome and 78,374 bp plasmid contain 4,071 protein-coding and 71 RNA genes, and were sequenced as part of the DOE Community Sequencing Program CSP_776774.
氨基芳香索氏菌菌株MZ1T属于红环菌科β-变形菌纲索氏菌属，已被鉴定具有产生大量胞外多糖以及以硝酸盐作为电子受体降解多种芳香化合物的能力。如果能在基因组序列水平上充分了解这些特性，那么通过使一种关键的厌氧代谢产物——乙酸盐，绕过从微生物转化为甲烷（一种重要的温室气体）的过程，就能有助于在厌氧循环中对有机物进行环境处理。菌株MZ1T是索氏菌属中首个基因组被完全测序的菌株。其4,496,212 bp的染色体和78,374 bp的质粒包含4,071个蛋白质编码基因和71个RNA基因，该测序是美国能源部社区测序计划CSP_776774的一部分。
