Abstract
Aeromicrobium massiliense strain JC14Tsp. nov. is the type strain of Aeromicrobium massiliense sp. nov., a new species within the genus Aeromicrobium. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal microbiota of an asymptomatic patient. Aeromicrobium massiliense is an aerobic rod-shaped gram-positive bacterium. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 3,322,119 bp long genome contains 3,296 protein-coding and 51 RNA genes.
Highlights
Aeromicrobium massiliense strain JC14T (= CSUR P158 = DSM 25782) is the type strain of A. massiliense. sp. nov. This bacterium is a motile, rod-shaped Gram-positive, aerobic catalasepositive bacterium that was isolated from the stool of a healthy Senegalese patient as part of a culturomics study aiming at cultivating all bacterial species within human feces [1]
The strain exhibited nucleotide sequence similarities with validated Aeromicrobium species ranging from 95.37% with A. marinum (Bruns et al 2003) [15] to 96.58% with A. erythreum (Miller et al 1991) [8] (Figure 1), a value lower than the 98.7% 16S rRNA gene sequence threshold recommended by Stackebrandt and Ebers to delineate a new species without using DNA-DNA hybridization [3]
The organism was selected for sequencing on the basis of its phylogenetic position and 16S rRNA similarity to other members of the genus Aeromicrobium.It is part of a study of the human digestive microbiota aimed at isolating all bacterial species found in human feces
Summary
Strain JC14T together with the description of the complete genomic sequencing and annotation These characteristics support the circumscription of the species A. massiliense. The organism was selected for sequencing on the basis of its phylogenetic position and 16S rRNA similarity to other members of the genus Aeromicrobium.It is part of a study of the human digestive microbiota aimed at isolating all bacterial species found in human feces. It was the second genome of an Aeromicrobium species and the first genome of Aeromicrobium massiliense sp. AThe total is based on either the size of the genome in base pairs or the total number of protein coding genes in the annotated genome
