Abstract
Here, we report the draft genome of Clostridium sp. strain W14A, isolated from the anaerobic, cellulolytic biofilm of a cotton string sample incubated in a landfill leachate microcosm. The draft genome comprises 131 contigs, 3,823,510 bp, 51.5% G+C content, and 4,119 predicted coding domain sequences.
Highlights
We report the draft genome of Clostridium sp. strain W14A, isolated from the anaerobic, cellulolytic biofilm of a cotton string sample incubated in a landfill leachate microcosm
Members of the genus Clostridium have been consistently detected as abundant members of the landfill microbial community [1,2,3,4], but few species have been isolated from this environment
The majority of landfill clostridia contribute to the hydrolysis of cellulose that represents the most abundant biodegradable component of landfill waste [1, 2]
