Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Dissulfurirhabdus thermomarina SH388. Improved phylogenetic and taxonomic analysis of this organism using genome-level analyses supports assignment of this organism to a novel family within the phylum Desulfobacterota . Additionally, comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses contextualize the convergent evolution of sulfur disproportionation and potential extracellular electron transfer in this organism relative to other members of the Desulfobacterota .
