Non contiguous-finished genome sequence and description of Peptoniphilus timonensis sp. nov

Abstract

Peptoniphilus timonensis strain JC401T sp. nov. is the type strain of P. timonensis sp. nov., a new species within the Peptoniphilus genus. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy patient. P. timonensis is an obligate Gram-positive anaerobic coccus. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 1,758,598 bp long genome (1 chromosome, no plasmid) contains 1,922 protein-coding and 22 RNA genes, including 5 rRNA genes.
