Summary Desulfotalea psychrophila is a marine sulfate‐reducing δ‐proteobacterium that is able to grow at in situ temperatures below 0°C. As abundant members of the microbial community in permanently cold marine sediments, D. psychrophila ‐like bacteria contribute to the global cycles of carbon and sulfur. Here, we describe the genome sequence of D. psychrophila strain LSv54, which consists of a 3 523 383 bp circular chromosome...
