Acidaminococcus fermentans (Rogosa 1969) is the type species of the genus Acidaminococcus, and is of phylogenetic interest because of its isolated placement in a genomically little characterized region of the clostridial family Veillonellaceae. A. fermentans is known for its gastrointestinal tract habitat and its ability to oxidize trans-aconitate. It grows strictly anaerobically and utilizes glutamate, citrate and trans-aconitate as sole energy sources for growth. The strain described in this report is a nonsporulating, nonmotile, Gram-negative coccus, originally isolated from a pig alimentary tract. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence, and annotation. This is the first complete genome sequence of a member of the genus Acidaminococcus, and the 2,329,769 bp long genome with its 2,101 protein-coding and 81 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
