Clostridium tarantellae strain:DSM 3997 Genome sequencing and assembly. Clostridium tarantellae strain:DSM 3997

Eubacterium tarantellae was originally cultivated from the brain of fish affected by twirling movements and was very recently associated to a human case of joint septic arthritis. Here we present the draft genome sequence of E. tarantellae DSM 3997 which consists of 3,982,316 bp. Most of the protein coding genes are of clostridial origin with similarity to Clostridium perfringens supporting the redenomination of E. tarantellae as Clostridium tarantellae.
