Abstract
Clostridium bifermentans strain WYM is an effective biohydrogen producer isolated from landfill leachate sludge. Here, we present the assembly and annotation of its genome, which may provide further insights into the metabolic pathways involved in efficient biohydrogen production.

Summary
Clostridium bifermentans strain WYM is an effective biohydrogen producer isolated from landfill leachate sludge. Clostridium bifermentans was first identified by Tissier and Martelly [1]. Since its discovery, it has often been confused with Clostridium sordellii in terms of its taxonomic relationship because the strains share similar cultural, biochemical, morphological, and serological characteristics. Nishida et al [2] showed that C. bifermentans and C. sordellii have different sporulation behaviors, and Brooks et al [3] differentiated these two species using gas chromatography. These results increased the confidence level for separating C. bifermentans and C. sordellii as different clostridial species.
