Draft genome sequence of Treponema sp. strain JC4, a novel spirochete isolated from the bovine rumen

Abstract

Morphologically and biochemically diverse members of the Treponema genus are present in the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants, yet very little is understood about their functional importance to this microbiome. Here we describe the annotated draft genome sequence of Treponema sp. strain JC4, a novel spirochete isolated from a bovine rumen sample. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
