Non-contiguous finished genome sequence and description of Clostridium dakarense sp. nov

Abstract

Clostridium dakarense strain FF1T, is the type strain of Clostridium dakarense sp. nov., a new spe-cies within the genus Clostridium. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a 4-month-old Senegalese child suffering from gastroenteritis. C. dakarense sp. nov. strain FF1T is an obligate anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 3,735,762 bp long genome (1 chromosome but no plasmid) exhibits a G+C content of 27.98% and contains 3,843 protein-coding and 73 RNA genes, including 8 rRNA genes. © BY-SA.
