Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of "Candidatus Izimaplasma sp." strain ZiA1 (1.88 Mb and 29.6% G+C content). Strain ZiA1 was cocultured with iron-reducing and toluene-degrading bacteria in an enrichment culture from tidal flat sediment. Like the genomes of other strains of "Ca. Izimaplasma," the ZiA1 genome contained genes required for anaerobic fermentation.
