Complete genome sequence of Corynebacterium falsenii DSM 44353 to study the evolution of Corynebacterium cluster 3 species

Abstract

Corynebacterium falsenii is a member of the natural microflora of wild and domesticated birds and is rarely detected in human clinical specimens. The chromosomal sequence of the type strain C. falsenii DSM 44353 comprises 2,677,607 bp and provides detailed insights into the evolution of Corynebacterium species assigned to the highly diverse cluster 3.
