Genome Sequence of Victivallis vadensis ATCC BAA-548 an Anaerobic Bacterium from the Phylum Lentisphaerae Isolated from the Human Gastrointestinal Tract

摘要

Victivallis vadensis ATCC BAA-548 represents the first cultured representative from the novel phylum Lentisphaerae, a deep-branching bacterial lineage. Few cultured bacteria from this phylum are known, and V. vadensis therefore represents an important organism for evolutionary studies. V. vadensis is a strictly anaerobic sugar-fermenting isolate from the human gastrointestinal tract.
