# Draft genome sequences of a strain of Clostridium neuense and four Candidatus Clostridium species

## TL;DR

This paper presents draft genome sequences of five Clostridium strains, including four proposed new species, to better understand their potential uses in industry.

## Contribution

The study provides new draft genome sequences for four proposed Candidatus Clostridium species and one Clostridium neuense strain.

## Key findings

- Draft genomes of five Clostridium isolates were sequenced.
- Four isolates are proposed as new Candidatus species.
- The genomes may help explore the industrial potential of these bacteria.

## Abstract

We report the draft genomes of five Clostridium isolates from soil and agricultural by-products, four of which are proposed as Candidatus species. Members of the genus Clostridium are of significant industrial interest, and the availability of their genome sequences facilitates the understanding and exploration of their functional potential.
