Highlights

  • •

    We sequenced the genome of Leptospirillum sp. group II strain CF-1 an iron-oxidizing bioleaching bacterium.

  • •

    A complete genome sequence consisting of a circular chromosome of 2,709,324 bp was obtained with a total of 2460 predicted protein coding genes (CDSs).

  • •

    Genes predicted involved in oxidative response were analyzed.

Abstract

We describe the complete genome sequence of Leptospirillum sp. group II strain CF-1, an acidophilic bioleaching bacterium isolated from an acid mine drainage (AMD). This work provides data to gain insights about adaptive response of Leptospirillum spp. to the extreme conditions of bioleaching environments.
