Abstract

Clostridium scindens strain VPI12708 serves as model organism to study bile acid 7α-dehydroxylating pathways. The closed circular genome of C. scindens VPI12708 was obtained by PacBio sequencing. The genome is composed of 3,983,052 bp, with 47.59% G + C, and 3,707 coding DNA sequences are predicted.
