Abstract
Brevibacterium senegalense strain JC43T sp. nov. is the type strain of Brevibacterium senegalense sp. nov., a new species within the Brevibacterium genus. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy Senegalese patient. B. senegalense 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 3,425,960 bp long genome (1 chromosome but no plasmid) contains 3,064 protein-coding and 49 RNA genes.
Highlights
Brevibacterium senegalense strain JC43T (= CSUR P155 = DSM 25783) is the type strain of B. senegalense. sp. nov
The strain exhibited 97.1 and 96.7% nucleotide sequence similarities with B. salitolerans (Guan et al 2010) and B. album (Tang et al 2008), respectively, the phylogenetically closest validated Brevibacterium species (Figure 1)
The organism was selected for sequencing on the basis of its phylogenetic position and 16S rRNA similarity to other members of the Brevibacterium genus, and is part of a study aiming at isolating all bacterial species within human feces
Summary
The strain exhibited 97.1 and 96.7% nucleotide sequence similarities with B. salitolerans (Guan et al 2010) and B. album (Tang et al 2008), respectively, the phylogenetically closest validated Brevibacterium species (Figure 1). The organism was selected for sequencing on the basis of its phylogenetic position and 16S rRNA similarity to other members of the Brevibacterium genus, and is part of a study aiming at isolating all bacterial species within human feces. It was the third genome of a Brevibacterium species. The properties and the statistics of the genome are summarized in Tables 3 and 4
