Members of the class Anaerolineae in the bacterial phylum Chloroflexi are widespread in a range of ecosystems but remain poorly understood. We present here the draft genome sequences of the type strains of five Anaerolineae species, Anaerolinea thermolimosa IMO-1, Bellilinea caldifistulae GOMI-1, Leptolinea tardivitalis YMTK-2, Levilinea saccharolytica KIBI-1, and Longilinea arvoryzae KOME-1.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has moved to address the health and climate impact of the emissions from the combustion of low-quality residual fuels within the commercial shipping industry. Fuel sulfur content (FS) limits and an efficiency design index for future ships are examples of such IMO actions. The impacts of black carbon (BC) emissions from shipping are now under review ...
