Summary
We sequenced the genome of Coprobacter fastidiosus, a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium found in infant feces. This provides insights into the Bacteroidetes phylum and gut microbiome composition.
Area of Science:
- Microbiology
- Genomics
- Bacteriology
Background:
- Coprobacter fastidiosus is a Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacterium.
- It belongs to the phylum Bacteroidetes, a significant group in the gut microbiome.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the draft genome sequence of Coprobacter fastidiosus strain NSB1(T).
- To provide genomic data for a bacterium isolated from human infant feces.
Main Methods:
- Whole-genome sequencing of C. fastidiosus strain NSB1(T).
- Bioinformatic analysis of the draft genome.
Main Results:
- The draft genome sequence of C. fastidiosus strain NSB1(T) was successfully obtained.
- This provides the first genomic data for this specific strain.
Conclusions:
- The genome sequence offers a foundation for future research on C. fastidiosus.
- Understanding this bacterium contributes to the broader knowledge of the human infant gut microbiome and Bacteroidetes phylum.

42.4K
The genome of most prokaryotic organisms consists of double-stranded DNA organized into one circular chromosome in a region of cytoplasm called the nucleoid. The chromosome is tightly wound, or supercoiled, for efficient storage. Prokaryotes also contain other circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. These plasmids are smaller than the chromosome and often carry genes that confer adaptive functions, such as antibiotic resistance.

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, utilizing their genetic material to hijack host cellular machinery for replication. DNA bacteriophages employ single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes. These phages exhibit diverse replication strategies and host interactions, influencing their ecological roles and applications in biotechnology and medicine.ssDNA BacteriophagesssDNA phages, with their small genomes, utilize unique strategies to...

Firmicutes is a diverse phylum of Gram-positive bacteria characterized by a low GC content in their genomes. This phylum includes organisms with monoderm or diderm cell envelopes, highlighting a complex evolutionary history. Firmicutes comprises several major orders, including Lactobacillales, Clostridiales, and Bacillales, which exhibit remarkable diversity in their morphology, metabolism, and ecological roles.The order Lactobacillales includes lactic acid bacteria, which are fermentative...

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Coryneform bacteria are gram-positive, aerobic, nonmotile rods that exhibit irregular, club-shaped, or V-shaped arrangements. Their V-shape results from snapping division, where the inner cell wall layer forms the cross-wall, while the outer layer remains intact until it ruptures on one side, causing the daughter cells to bend away.The primary genera are Corynebacterium and Arthrobacter. Corynebacterium includes diverse species, ranging from saprophytes to pathogens like Corynebacterium...
