“Intestinimonas gabonensis” sp. nov., a new bacterium detected from a Gabonese stool specimen

Detection of new bacteria becomes a major part of culturomics studies coupled with taxonogenomics. Using these strategies, we report here the main characteristics of a new species, “Intestinimonas gabonensis” strain GM5. It is a bacterium isolated from a stool specimen from a 27-year-old man from Gabon

Noncontiguous finished genome sequence and description of Gabonia massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov.

Culturomics coupled with taxonogenomics is currently used to isolate and characterize new bacteria. Here we describe the features and complete genome sequence of Gabonia massiliensis strain GM3, an anaerobic Gram negative, non-spore-forming and catalase-positive bacillus isolated from a stool specimen of a healthy Gabonese male youth. Belonging to a new genus called Gabonia, it exhibits a genome of 4 261 752 bp including 37.9% GC content and 3,288 predicted genes

Noncontiguous finished genome sequence and description of Kallipyga gabonensis sp. nov.

Taxonogenomics coupled with culturomics promotes the isolation and characterization of bacteria. Kallipyga gabonensis sp. nov. strain GM4 is a strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive, and non motile coccus isolated from the stool of a Gabonese male teenager. The genome is 1,621,211 bp long with 50.01% G+C content and two scaffolds. Of the 1,536 predicted genes, 1,475 were protein-coding genes and 61 were RNA genes. A total of 931 genes were assigned a putative function, and 79 genes were identified as ORFans
