Complete genome sequence of Turicibacter sp. strain H121, isolated from the feces of a contaminated germ-free mouse

Abstract

Turicibacter bacteria are commonly detected in the gastrointestinal tracts and feces of humans and animals, but their phylogeny, ecological role, and pathogenic potential remain unclear. We present here the first complete genome sequence of Turicibacter sp. strain H121, which was isolated from the feces of a mouse line contaminated following germ-free derivation.
