Non-contiguous finished genome sequence of Clostridium dakarense sp. nov.. Faecalimicrobium dakarense strain:01

Clostridium dakarense strain 01, is the type strain of Clostridium dakarense sp. nov., a new species within the genus Clostridium. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a 4-months-old Senegalese child suffering from gastroenteritis. C. dakarense strain 01 is an obligate anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 3,735,762 bp long genome (1 chromosome but no plasmid) exhibits a G+C content of 27.98% and contains 3,843 protein-coding and 73 RNA genes, including 8 rRNA genes.
