Complete Genome Sequences of Thermus thermophilus Strains HB5002 and HB5008, Isolated from Mine Hot Spring in Japan.

ABSTRACT We isolated Thermus thermophilus strains HB5002 and HB5008 from Mine Hot Spring in Japan. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that they showed ∼100% average nucleotide identity to each other, ≥98.53% to the T. thermophilus strains originating from the same spot but ≤97.64% to the T. thermophilus strains from geographically different places in Japan.
