Abstract
Clostridium ultunense BS is the first isolated strain (type strain) of C. ultunense that was identified as a mesophilic syntrophic acetate-oxidizing bacterium (SAOB). Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain, which will help us to elucidate the mechanism of syntrophic acetate oxidization.
Highlights
Clostridium ultunense BS is the first isolated strain of C. ultunense that was identified as a mesophilic syntrophic acetate-oxidizing bacterium (SAOB)
Clostridium ultunense BS was isolated from a triculture enriched from a laboratory-scale digester [1]
C. ultunense BS was originally deposited in the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ) as DSM 10521 [1]
Summary
Clostridium ultunense BS is the first isolated strain (type strain) of C. ultunense that was identified as a mesophilic syntrophic acetate-oxidizing bacterium (SAOB). It is the type strain of C. ultunense and shows 99% 16S rRNA gene identity with another strain, Esp, the draft genome sequence of which was published recently [2, 3]. Most of our knowledge about C. ultunense is based on investigation of this type strain [4]. It can oxidize acetate to H2 and CO2 when cocultured with hydrogenotrophic methanogen [1].
