Clostridium carboxidivorans P7(T) is an anaerobe that can ferment syngas (mainly CO or CO2 and H2) to produce acids (acetic and butyric acid), ethanol and long-chain alcohols (butanol and hexanol). Here, the first complete genome sequence for C. carboxidivorans P7(T) is presented. This anaerobic bacterium harbors a 5,732,880bp circular chromosome and a 19,902bp mega-plasmid with 4951 and 22 coding DNA sequence (CDS), respectively.

A strictly anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative rod-shaped bacterium, designated A1-XYC3, was isolated from the faeces of an alpaca (). On the basis of the results of a comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolate was assigned to the genus with the highest sequence similarities to DSM 2767 (96.8 %), P7 (96.

Recombinant formate dehydrogenase from the acetogen Clostridium carboxidivorans strain P7(T), expressed in Escherichia coli, shows particular activity towards NADH-dependent carbon dioxide reduction to formate due to the relative binding affinities of the substrates and products. The enzyme retains activity over 2 days at 4°C under oxic conditions.

Clostridium carboxidivorans strain P7(T) is a strictly anaerobic acetogenic bacterium that produces acetate, ethanol, butanol, and butyrate. The C. carboxidivorans genome contains all the genes for the carbonyl branch of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway for CO(2) fixation, and it encodes enzymes for conversion of acetyl coenzyme A into butanol and butyrate.
