%X Using the strategy of taxonogenomics, we described Clostridium pacaense sp. nov. strain Marseille-P3100T, a Gram-variable, nonmotile, spore-forming anaerobic bacillus. This strain was isolated from a 3.3-month-old Senegalese girl with clinical aspects of marasmus. The closest species based on 16S ribosomal RNA was Clostridium aldenense, with a similarity of 98.4%. The genome length was 2 672 129 bp, with a 50% GC content; 2360 proteins were predicted. Finally, predominant fatty acids were hexadecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid and 9-hexadecenoic acid
