Taxono-genomics and description of Gordonibacter massiliensis sp. nov., a new bacterium isolated from stool of healthy patient

Abstract Using taxono-genomics concept, we describe here a Gram-positive bacillus strictly anaerobic. This strain was isolated from the stool sample of a 50-year-old healthy Bedouin woman. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and the whole-genome sequencing showed that this isolate belonged to the genus Gordonibacter in the family Eggerthellaceae. Based on these criteria, we propose the creation of Gordonibacter massiliensis sp. nov., strain Marseille-P2775T (= CSUR P2775).
