Complete genome sequence of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii isolated from the gut of a healthy Indian adult

Abstract

Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is the most abundant (~4%) member of the phylum Firmicutes found in the colon of healthy humans. It is a strict anaerobe and plays an important role in intestinal homeostasis. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of F. prausnitzii strain Indica.
