Draft Genome Sequence of Clostridium scatologenes ATCC 25775 a Chemolithoautotrophic Acetogenic Bacterium Producing 3-Methylindole and 4-Methylphenol

摘要

Clostridium scatologenes ATCC 25775 is a strictly anaerobic and chemolithoautotrophic acetogenic bacterium that converts syngas into multi-carbon compounds such as acetate, indole, 3-methylindole, and 4-methylphenol. Here we report the draft genome sequence of C. scatologenes ATCC 25775 (7.3 Mbp) to elucidate its metabolic pathway for syngas fermentation.
