Abstract

Phascolarctobacterium faecium is a strict anaerobe belonging to the Firmicutes phylum that is found abundantly in the human gastrointestinal tract. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of P. faecium G 104, a strain isolated from a fresh stool sample from a healthy lean donor.

Summary

Introduction

Phascolarctobacterium faecium is a Gram-negative, nonsporulating, and strictly anaerobic bacterium that was first isolated from a healthy human donor (1) and was characterized as a succinate-utilizing bacterium and substantial acetate/propionate producer (2). Phascolarctobacterium faecium is a strict anaerobe belonging to the Firmicutes phylum that is found abundantly in the human gastrointestinal tract. We report the complete genome sequence of P. faecium G 104, a strain isolated from a fresh stool sample from a healthy lean donor. P. faecium strain G 104 was isolated from the healthy donor’s fecal sample, using intestinal bacteria medium (IBM) (6) supplemented with different carbohydrates (0.2% xylan, 0.2% wheat bran extract, 0.1% arabinogalactans, 0.1% Arabic gum, 0.5% starch, and 0.1% inulin).
