Abstract
Clostridium saudii
strain JCC
T
sp. nov. is the type strain of
C. saudii
sp. nov., a new species within the genus
Clostridia
. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from a fecal sample collected from an obese 24-year-old (body mass index 52 kg/m2) man living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
C. saudii
is a Gram-positive, anaerobic bacillus. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 3,653,762 bp long genome contains 3,452 protein-coding and 53 RNA genes, including 4 rRNA genes.
