ABSTRACTJ. Hiras, S. V. Sharma, V. Raman, R. A. J. Tinson, et al. (mBio 9:e01603-18, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1128/mBio.01603-18) report on the identification of a novel thiol, N-methyl-bacillithiol (N-Me-BSH), in the green sulfur bacteriumChlorobium tepidum. In N-methyl-bacillithiol, the amine of the cysteine is methylated by a novelS-adenosylmethioneine transferase designated N-methyl-bacillithiol synthase A (NmbA). The Hiras et al. study is significant because it is the first report of the presence of N-Me-BSH in anaerobic bacteria.

Here, we report the draft genome sequences of the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium phaeovibrioides strains GrTcv12 and PhvTcv-s14, isolated from the chemocline zone from meromictic Lake Trekhtzvetnoe, separated from the White Sea, in Russia. This is the first report showing the presence of plasmids containing antiphage systems in the Chlorobium sp. genome.
