Complete genome sequence of Odoribacter splanchnicus type strain (1651/6)
This study presents the first complete genome sequence for Odoribacter splanchnicus, a bacterium from the Porphyromonadaceae family. This genomic data aids in understanding the isolated Odoribacter cluster within this bacterial family.
Area of Science:
- Microbiology
- Genomics
- Bacterial Taxonomy
Background:
- Odoribacter splanchnicus is the type species of the genus Odoribacter.
- The genus Odoribacter forms an isolated phylogenetic cluster within the Porphyromonadaceae family.
- This research contributes to the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide the first complete genome sequence of a member of the genus Odoribacter.
- To facilitate comparative genomic studies within the Porphyromonadaceae family.
- To enhance the understanding of bacterial diversity and evolution.
Main Methods:
- Whole-genome sequencing of Odoribacter splanchnicus.
- Bioinformatic analysis of the genome sequence.
- Comparative genomics within the Porphyromonadaceae family.
Main Results:
- A complete genome sequence of Odoribacter splanchnicus (4,392,288 bp) was obtained.
- The genome contains 3,672 protein-coding genes and 74 RNA genes.
- This represents the fourth genome sequence from the Porphyromonadaceae family.
Conclusions:
- The availability of the Odoribacter splanchnicus genome provides a crucial resource for studying this unique bacterial genus.
- This work expands the genomic representation of the Porphyromonadaceae family.
- Further research can leverage this data to explore the evolutionary relationships and ecological roles of Odoribacter species.
