First Insights into the Genome of the N-Methylhydantoin-Degrading Clostridium sp. Strain FS41 (DSM 6877)

摘要

Clostridium sp. strain FS41 (DSM 6877) is a strictly anaerobic and Gram-positive spindle-shaped rod. This spore-forming bacterium is able to degrade N-methylhydantoin, with N-carbamoylsarcosine and sarcosine as intermediates. The genome consists of one replicon (6.28?Mb) and harbors 5,735 predicted protein-coding genes.
