Noncontiguous finished genome sequence of Megasphaera sp. ASD88, isolated from faeces of a child with autism spectrum disorder

Abstract: We report here a draft genome sequence of Megasphaera sp. ASD88, a strain from the intestinal microbiota of a child with autism spectrum disorder, representing a previously undescribed species of the genus Megasphaera. The assembled sequence consists of 88 scaffolds, and the total size is 2.59 Mb.

“…The genus Megasphaera comprises butyrate-producing organisms within the Firmicutes phylum. Members of the Megasphaera genus have been isolated from a variety of anaerobic environments, including the intestinal tracts of pigs, cows, and humans ( 1 5 ). Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of a recently characterized Megasphaera species, isolated from the cecal contents of a healthy white leghorn chicken.…”
