Complete Genome Sequence of Megasphaera stantonii AJH120 T , Isolated from a Chicken Cecum

Abstract

A novel bacterium, Megasphaera stantonii (strain AJH120 T ), was isolated from the cecum of a chicken during a screen for microorganisms using a brain heart infusion (BHI) medium. PacBio and Illumina MiSeq sequencing technologies were used to produce a single contiguous chromosome. A novel bacterium, Megasphaera stantonii (strain AJH120 T ), was isolated from the cecum of a chicken during a screen for microorganisms using a brain heart infusion (BHI) medium. PacBio and Illumina MiSeq sequencing technologies were used to produce a single contiguous chromosome. The resulting genome sequence is 2,652,760 bp long with a 52.62% GC content.
