Complete genome sequence of Rnf- and cytochrome-containing autotrophic acetogen Clostridium aceticum DSM 1496

Abstract

Here, we report the closed genome sequence of Clostridium aceticum, an Rnf- and cytochrome-containing autotrophic acetogen that is able to convert CO2 and H2 to acetate using the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. The genome consists of a circular chromosome (4.2 Mbp) and a small circular plasmid (5.7 kbp).
