Abstract

We report sequences of the complete linear chromosome and five linear plasmids of the relapsing fever spirochete “ Candidatus Borrelia fainii” Qtaro. The chromosome sequence of 951,861 bp and the 243,291 bp of plasmid sequences were predicted to contain 852 and 239 protein-coding genes, respectively. The predicted total GC content was 28.4%.
