Abstract
Clostridium clariflavum is a Cluster III Clostridium within the family Clostridiaceae isolated
from thermophilic anaerobic sludge (Shiratori et al, 2009). This species is of interest because
of its similarity to the model cellulolytic organism Clostridium thermocellum and for the ability of environmental isolates to break down cellulose and hemicellulose. Here we describe
features of the 4,897,678 bp long genome and its annotation, consisting of 4,131 proteincoding and 98 RNA genes, for the type strain DSM 19732.
