# Non-contiguous finished genome sequence and description of Clostridiumihumii sp. nov

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a new species of bacteria, Clostridium ihumii, isolated from a human stool sample and provides its complete genome sequence.

## Contribution

The paper presents the first complete genome sequence of the newly identified Clostridium ihumii species.

## Key findings

- C. ihumii is a Gram-positive, anaerobic bacillus isolated from a human stool sample.
- The genome is 4,433,668 bp long and contains 4,076 protein-coding and 85 RNA genes.
- The species was identified from a 21-year-old female with anorexia nervosa.

## Abstract

Clostridium ihumii strain AP5T sp. nov. is a new species within the genus Clostridium. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the stool sample of a 21-year-old French Caucasian female with anorexia nervosa. C. ihumii is a Gram-positive, anaerobic bacillus. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 4,433,668 bp long genome contains 4,076 protein-coding and 85 RNA genes, including 9 rRNA genes.
