We report here the complete genome sequence of S. thermophila DSM 6192, which is the first genome sequence of a thermophilic, free-living member of the Spirochaetes phylum. The genome data reveal a high density of genes encoding enzymes from more than 30 glycoside hydrolase families, a noncellulosomal enzyme system for (hemi) cellulose degradation, and indicate the presence of a novel carbohydrate-binding module.journal_article10.1128/JB.01023-1020935097000284690400024
