Caproiciproducens galactitolivorans strain:BS-1 Genome sequencing

Caproiciproducens galactitolivorans, a strictly anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated BS-1, was isolated from an anaerobic digestion reactor during a study of bacteria utilizing galactitol as the carbon source. Its cells were 0.3–0.5 µm × 2–4 µm, and they grew at 35–45 °C and at pH 6.0–8.0. Strain BS-1 produced H2, CO2, ethanol, acetic acid, butyric acid and caproic acid as metabolic end products of anaerobic fermentation.
