Draft genome sequence of Clostridium beijerinckii Ne1 from an enrichment culture obtained from the Australian subterranean termite, Nasutitermes exitiosus

Abstract

The draft genome of Clostridium beijerinckii strain Ne1 was reconstructed from the metagenomic sequence of a mixedmicrobial consortium that produced commercially significant quantities of hydrogen from xylan as a sole feedstock. The organism possesses relatively limited hemicellulolytic capacity and likely requires the action of other organisms to completely degrade xylan.
