Complete genome sequence of solvent-tolerant Clostridium beijerinckii strain SA-1

Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of Clostridium beijerinckii SA-1, derived by directed evolution from C. beijerinckii NCIMB 8052, selecting for enhanced solvent tolerance. This sequence allows for accurate placement of SA-1 as C. beijerinckii, permits functional analyses of mutant phenotypes, and suggests methods for distinguishing SA-1 from its parent.
