Complete genome of Thauera humireducens SgZ-1, a potential bacterium for environmental remediation and wastewater treatment.

•Thauera humireducens SgZ-1 was a novel humus-reducing bacterium, isolated from the anode biofilm of a sediment microbial fuel cell.•Strain SgZ-1 was able to reduce humus, Fe(III) species and nitrate in anerobic conditions.•Strain SgZ-1 has vast potential for application in environmental remediation and wastewater treatment.•The genome sequence of strain SgZ-1 will help to understand the genetics basis of metobolism of electron donors and acceptors for environmental remediation and wastewater treatment.
