Abstract
We present a draft genome sequence of Clostridium pasteurianum NRRL B-598. This strain ferments saccharides by two-stage acetone-butanol (AB) fermentation, is oxygen tolerant, and has high hydrogen yields.
Highlights
We present a draft genome sequence of Clostridium pasteurianum NRRL B-598
For C. pasteurianum NRRL B-598, a single-end library was sequenced with the GS Junior System (Roche)
Annotation was added by the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP)
Summary
We present a draft genome sequence of Clostridium pasteurianum NRRL B-598. This strain ferments saccharides by two-stage acetone-butanol (AB) fermentation, is oxygen tolerant, and has high hydrogen yields. The strain Clostridium pasteurianum NRRL B-598 is a sporeforming, anaerobic, mesophilic, heterofermentative, rodshaped (young cells are motile) bacterium that differs from the recently sequenced C. pasteurianum DSM 525 [1], especially in its inability to utilize glycerol as a substrate and its negligible formation of ethanol and production of acetone instead of 1,3propanediol. For C. pasteurianum NRRL B-598, a single-end library was sequenced with the GS Junior System (Roche).
