Abstract

We report the main characteristics of 'Clostridium mediterraneense' sp. nov., strain Marseille-P2434^T (CSUR P2434), a new species within the genus Clostridium. This strain was isolated from the gut microbiota of a 66-year-old diabetic patient in Marseille, France.

Keywords: Clostridium mediterraneense; culturomics; diabetic patient; gut microbiota; taxonogenomics.
