Genome sequence of the free-living aerobic spirochete Turneriella parva type strain (HT) and emendation of the species Turneriella parva

摘要

Levett et al. 2005 is the only species of the genus which was established as a result of the reclassification of Hovind-Hougen et al. 1982. Together with and , constitutes the family , within the order . Here we describe the features of this free-living aerobic spirochete together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. This is the first complete genome sequence of a member of the genus and the 13^th member of the family for which a complete or draft genome sequence is now available. The 4,409,302 bp long genome with its 4,169 protein-coding and 45 RNA genes is part of the > Genomic > Encyclopedia of > and > project.
