  abstract = {{M}esotoga strain {P}hos{A}c3 was the first mesophilic cultivated member of the order {T}hermotogales. {T}his genus currently contain two described species, {M}. prima and {M}. infera. {S}train {P}hos{A}c3, isolated from a {T}unisian digestor treating phosphogypsum, is phylogenetically closely related to {M}. prima strain {M}es{G}1.{A}g.4.2({T}). {S}train {P}hos{A}c3 has a genome of 3.1 {M}b with a {G} + {C} content of 45.2%. {I}t contains 3,051 protein-coding genes of which 74.6% have their best reciprocal {BLAST} hit in the genome of the type species, strain {M}es{G}1.{A}g.4.2({T}). {F}or this reason we propose to assign strain {P}hos{A}c3 as a novel ecotype of the {M}esotoga prima species. {H}owever, in contrast with the {M}. prima type strain, (i) it does not ferment sugars but uses them only in the presence of elemental sulfur as terminal electron acceptor, (ii) it produces only acetate and {CO}2 from sugars, whereas strain {M}es{G}1.{A}g.4.2({T}) produces acetate, butyrate, isobutyrate, isovalerate, 2-methyl-butyrate and (iii) sulfides are also end products of the elemental sulfur reduction in theses growth conditions.},
