Genome Sequence of the Mercury-Methylating and Pleomorphic Desulfovibrio africanus Strain Walvis Bay

Desulfovibrio africanus strain Walvis Bay is an anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacterium capable of producing methylmercury (MeHg), a potent human neurotoxin. The mechanism of methylation by this and other organisms is unknown. We present the 4.2-Mb genome sequence to provide further insight into microb...
