Abstract
Corynebacterium jeddahense sp. nov., strain JCBT, is the type strain of Corynebacterium jeddahense sp. nov., a new species within the genus Corynebacterium. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from fecal flora of a 24-year-old Saudi male suffering from morbid obesity. Corynebacterium jeddahense is a Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic, nonsporulating bacillus. Here, we describe the features of this bacterium, together with the complete genome sequencing and annotation, and compare it to other member of the genus Corynebacterium. The 2,472,125 bp-long genome (1 chromosome but not plasmid) contains 2,359 protein-coding and 53 RNA genes, including 1 rRNA operon.
Highlights
Corynebacterium jeddahense strain JCBT (= CSUR P778 = DSM 45997) is the type strain of C. jeddahense sp. nov
More than 12,000 bacterial genomes have been sequenced [4], and we recently proposed an innovative concept for the taxonomic description of new bacterial species that integrates their genomic characteristics [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35] as well as proteomic information obtained by MALDI-TOF-MS analysis [36]
We present a summary classification and a set of features for Corynebacterium jeddahense sp. nov., strain JCBT (CSUR P778 = DSM 45997), including the description of its complete genome sequence and annotation
Summary
Nov., strain JCBT (CSUR P778 = DSM 45997), including the description of its complete genome sequence and annotation. These characteristics support the circumscription of the species Corynebacterium jeddahense. The genus Corynebacterium was created in 1896 by Lehmann and Neumann and currently consists of mainly Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria with a high DNA G+C content [37]. This genus belongs to the phylum Actinobacteria and currently includes more than 100 species with standing in nomenclature [38]. Members of the genus Corynebacterium are found in various environments including water, soil, sewage, and plants
