Draft Genome Sequences of Three Clostridia Isolates Involved in Lactate-Based Chain Elongation.

Hitherto, few species have been reported to convert lactate to n-caproate. Here, we report the high-quality draft genomes of three Clostridia strains isolated on lactate as the sole carbon source. The genomes were assembled using a hybrid short- and long-read sequencing approach. The genes involved in lactate-based chain elongation were identified.
