Here, we describe the genome sequence of Acidianus ambivalens DSM 3772, an archaeon belonging to the Sulfolobales order that was first isolated from continental solfataric fields. This thermoacidophile was sequenced because it utilizes a unique sulfur disproportionation pathway that enables this metabolism under aerobic conditions, in contrast to obligately anaerobic bacterial sulfur disproportionators.
