Taxonogenomic description of four new Clostridium species isolated from human gut : Clostridium amazonitimonense, Clostridium merdae, Clostridium massilidielmoense and Clostridium nigeriense Alou, M.T.

MICROBIOLOGIE BACTERIE TAXONOMIE ESPECE NOUVELLE IDENTIFICATION SANTE MICROBIOTE Culturomics investigates microbial diversity of the human microbiome by combining diversified culture conditions, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene identification. The present study allowed identification of four putative new Clostridium sensu stricto species: 'Clostridium amazonitimonense' strain LF2(T), 'Clostridium massilidielmoense' strain MT26(T), 'Clostridium nigeriense' strain Marseille-P2414(T) and 'Clostridium merdae' strain Marseille-P2953(T), which we describe using the concept of taxonogenomics. We describe the main characteristics of each bacterium and present their complete genome sequence and annotation. 2018 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010075932 fdi:010075932 Alou M.T., Ndongo S., Frégère L., Labas N., Andrieu C., Richez M., Couderc C., Baudoin J.P., Abrahao J., Brah S., Diallo A., Sokhna Cheick, Cassir N., La Scola B., Cadoret F., Raoult D..
