Abstract
In order to improve the phylogenetic resolution of the genus Clostridium and our limited knowledge of meat spoilage caused by Clostridium estertheticum, the genome of C. estertheticum-like strain FP4 was sequenced. Here, we describe the 4.1-Mb draft genome sequence of C. estertheticum-like strain FP4, isolated from vacuum-packaged refrigerated spoiled lamb.
Highlights
Clostridium estertheticum-like strain FP4 is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, and slowgrowing psychrotrophic bacterium that requires strict anaerobic conditions to grow [1]
The genome sequence of FP4 reported here is a useful resource for the future development of strategies for early identification of the presence of clostridial spoilage and reduction in the onset of blown-pack spoilage (BPS)
The draft genome sequence of Clostridium estertheticum-like strain FP4 has been deposited in GenBank under accession number JAAMNG000000000 and BioProject accession number PRJNA574489
Summary
Clostridium estertheticum-like strain FP4 is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, and slowgrowing psychrotrophic bacterium that requires strict anaerobic conditions to grow [1].
