Draft Genome Sequence of Clostridium sporogenes PA 3679, the Common Nontoxigenic Surrogate for Proteolytic Clostridium botulinum

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Clostridium sporogenes PA 3679 is widely used as a nontoxigenic surrogate for proteolytic strains of Clostridium botulinum in the derivation and validation of thermal processes in food. Here we report the draft assembly and annotation of the C. sporogenes PA 3679 genome. Preliminary analysis demonstrates a high degree of relatedness between C. sporogenes PA 3679 and sequenced strains of proteolytic C. botulinum.
