Clostridium algidicarnis

◑ Environmental
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Clostridium algidicarnis is a gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic rod originally isolated as a psychrotrophic (cold-tolerant) bacterium. It is primarily documented in the literature as a food spoilage pathogen associated with vacuum-packed and chilled meat products, where it causes gas production and quality deterioration. This is a food safety concern organism, not a probiotic strain.
