First Insight into the Genome Sequence of Clostridium liquoris DSM 100320, a Butyrate- and Ethanol-Producing Bacterium.

Clostridium liquoris is a strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive, nonmotile, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium. The major fermentation products from glucose are ethanol and butyrate. C. liquoris was isolated from a 20-year-old liquor fermentation pit. The draft genome sequence consists of a chromosome (2.892 Mb) harboring 2,788 predicted protein-encoding genes.
