Complete Genome Sequence of a Carbon Monoxide-Utilizing Acetogen, <i>Eubacterium limosum</i> KIST612

Abstract

Eubacterium limosum KIST612 is an anaerobic acetogenic bacterium that uses CO as the sole carbon/energy source and produces acetate, butyrate, and ethanol. To evaluate its potential as a syngas microbial catalyst, we have sequenced the complete 4.3-Mb genome of E. limosum KIST612.
