Abstract

Clostridium scindens is an important member of the gut microbiome. Strains of C. scindens are model organisms for bile acid and steroid metabolism studies. The genome sequences for nine C. scindens strains isolated from human feces are reported. Genomes ranged from 3,403,497 to 4,318,168 bp, 46.5% to 48% G+C content, and 3,386 to 4,137 protein-coding total genes.

Keywords: Clostridium scindens.
