Abstract
Brevibacillus massiliensis strain phRT sp. nov. is the type strain of B. massiliensis sp. nov., a new species within the genus Brevibacillus. This strain was isolated from the fecal flora of a woman suffering from morbid obesity. B. massiliensis is a Gram-positive aerobic rod-shaped bacterium. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 5,051,018 bp long genome (1 chromosome but no plasmid) contains 5,051 protein-coding and 84 RNA genes, and exhibits a G+C content of 53.1%.
Highlights
Brevibacillus massiliensis strain phRT (= CSUR P177 = DSM 25447) is the type strain of B. massiliensis sp. nov
The genus Brevibacillus (Shilda et al 1996) was created in 1996 by reclassification of 10 Bacillus species, on the basis of 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis [16]. This genus is made of 18 species [17], including B. agri, B. brevis, B. centrosporus, B. choshinensis, B. parabrevis, B. reuszeri, B. formosus, B. borstelensis, B. laterosporus, and B. thermoruber [16], B. invocatus [18], B. limnophilus [19], B. levickii [20], B. ginsengisoli [21], B. panacihumi [22], B. fluminis in [23], and B. nitrificans [24]
This strain exhibited a nucleotide sequence similarity with Brevibacillus species ranging from 94% with B. centrosporus [18] to 96% with B. reuszeri, B. parabrevis, B. invocatus, B. brevis, B. borstelensis [18], B. panacihumi [22], B. levickii [20], (Figure 1)
