Finished Whole-Genome Sequence of Clostridium argentinense Producing Botulinum Neurotoxin Type G

Here, we present a closed genome sequence for Clostridium argentinense strain 89G, the first strain identified to produce botulinum neurotoxin type G (BoNT/G). Although discovered in 1970, to date, there have been no reference quality sequences publicly available for this species.
