The most prominent feature of S. novella is its ability to grow as a facultative chemolithoautotroph [3], a heterotroph [4], or methylotroph [1,5]. Cultures of strain ATCC 8093T were first isolated from soil samples taken from agricultural land in New Jersey by Robert L. Starkey in the early 1930s [6,7] and deposited in the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) under the basonym Thiobacillus novellus [3,8]. The bacterium was referred to as the ‘new’ Thiobacillus as it was the first facultatively chemolithoautotrophic sulfur oxidizer to be isolated. Until then, all known dissimilatory sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were also obligate autotrophs. As a result, the metabolism of T. novellus was intensely studied for many years following its discovery, and particularly following the development of more sophisticated biochemical and molecular methods in the 1960s.\nDuring the last fifty years, the strain has been used in numerous molecular studies, both of its oxidative sulfur metabolism and the versatility and regulation of its carbon metabolism. Studies included generation of reducing power in chemosynthesis [9], carbon dioxide fixation and carboxydismutase action [10], catabolite repression in facultative chemoautotrophs [11], regulation of glucose transport and metabolism [12], isolation and characterization of a bacteriophage [13], pathways of thiosulfate oxidation [9,14-17], the formation of sulfite during the oxidation of thiosulfate [18], and the isolation and characterization of a bacterial sulfite dehydrogenase [19-29], a sulfite-oxidizing enzyme.\nBased on the 16S rRNA gene sequence in 2000 Kelly et al. [1] proposed the reclassification of T. novellus to S. novella. The genus name Starkeya is in honor of Robert L. Starkey and his important contribution to soil microbiology and sulfur biochemistry [1]; the species epithet was derived from the Latin adjective ‘novella’, new [3]. Here we present a summary classification and a set of features for S. novella ATCC 8093T, together with the description of the genomic sequencing and annotation."}
