Clostridium lentocellum DSM 5427

Names Clostridium lentocellum DSM 5427
Accession numbers NC_015275
Background Cellulosilyticum lentocellum DSM 5427, previously known as Clostridium lentocellum, was isolated from estuarine sediment of the River Don, Aberdeenshire, Scotland in 1986. The river receives both domestic and paper mill effluent and its sediments exhibited cellulolytic activity. C. lentocellum is able to degrade cellulose slowly and may form a single terminal endospore. It is an obligate anaerobe. It stains Gram-negative, and is motile, growing optimally at 40 degrees Celsius and pH7.5 to 7.7. Major fermentation products from cellulose are ethanol, acetic acid, hydrogen and carbon dioxide (adapted from PMID 19661493 and 21398547). (EBI Integr8)
