Abstract

Clostridium thermoalcaliphilum is an obligate anaerobic and rod-shaped bacterium isolated from sewage sludge. It is an alkaliphilic thermotolerant organism and utilizes sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose, cellobiose, amino acids, and Casamino Acids as substrates. The draft genome comprises 2.031 Mbp and 2,027 predicted protein-coding genes.
