Draft genome sequence of an oxalate-degrading strain of Clostridium sporogenes from the gastrointestinal tract of the white-throated woodrat (Neotoma albigula)

Abstract

The gastrointestinal tract of the white-throated woodrat Neotoma albigula harbors a diverse microbial population that functions in the degradation of ingested plant secondary compounds. Here, we present the draft genome sequence and annotation of Clostridium sporogenes strain 8-O, a novel oxalate-degrading bacterium isolated from the feces of N. albigula.
