Non-contiguous finished genome sequence and description of Paenibacillus senegalensis sp. nov.

Abstract

Paenibacillus senegalensis strain JC66T, is the type strain of Paenibacillus senegalensis sp. nov., a new species within the genus Paenibacillus. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy patient. P. senegalensis strain JC66T is a facultative Gram-negative anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 5,581,254 bp long genome (1 chromosome but no plasmid) exhibits a G+C content of 48.2% and contains 5,008 protein-coding and 51 RNA genes, including 9 rRNA genes.

Non-contiguous finished genome sequence and description of Fenollaria massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a new genus of anaerobic bacterium

“…Recently, a number of new bacterial genera and species have been described using high throughput genome sequencing and mass spectrometric analyses, which allows access to a wealth of genetic and proteomic information [4,5]. We propose a new bacterial genus and species using a whole genome sequence and a MALDI-TOF spectrum, and the main characteristics of the organism, as we have previously done [6-12]. …”

Rise of Microbial Culturomics: Noncontiguous Finished Genome Sequence and Description ofBeduini massiliensisgen. nov., sp. nov.

“…We have recently advanced a methodology for dynamic description of new bacteria, including new species and genera from the digestive flora, using the original approach of culturomics applied to samples of various geographical origins including Senegal, Niger, and Saudi Arabia. Indeed, several new species were identified using this approach in our laboratory including Bacillus timonensis (Kokcha et al, 2012), Anaerococcus senegalensis , Alistipes senegalensis (Mishra et al, 2012a), Alistipes timonensis , Clostridium senegalensis , Peptoniphilus timonensis (Mishra et al, 2012c), and Peptoniphilus senegalensis (Mishra et al, 2013). New species from Saudi Arabia samples were also uncovered, including Clostridium jeddahense and Corynebacterium jeddahense (Edouard et al, 2014;Lagier et al, 2014).…”

“…The development of high-throughput sequencing techniques permits the availability of a high number of bacterial genome sequences in public databases (Ramasamy et al, 2014). A taxono-genomic strategy was recently developed and is based on a systematic comparison of genomic and phenotypic characteristics, especially based on the Matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) spectrum, with the phylogenetically-closest species identified in the databases (Kokcha et al, 2012;Lagier et al, 2012b;, Mishra et al, 2012a.…”

Draft Genome Sequences of Type Strains Bacillus drentensis DSM 15600 T and Bacillus novalis DSM 15603 T

“…As a result of the recent decrease in the cost of genomic sequencing, it has been proposed that whole-genome sequencing information be combined with the main phenotypic characteristics as a polyphasic approach strategy (taxono-genomics) to describe new bacterial taxa (1–4). In this study, a high-quality genome sequence of B. drentensis DSM 15600 T was sequenced, which may promote research in the genomic taxonomy of the Bacillus -like bacteria.…”
