Abstract:
Herbaspirillum massiliense strain JC206(T) sp. nov. is the type strain of H. massiliense sp. nov., a new species within the genus Herbaspirillum. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy Senegalese patient. H. massiliense is an aerobic rod. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 4,186,486 bp long genome (one chromosome but no plasmid) contains 3,847 protein-coding and 54 RNA genes, including 3 rRNA genes.
