Project description:The objective of this study is to determine whether monocolonization of germ-free mice with Turicibacter sangiunis results in changes in intestinal gene expression
Project description:While the microbiota resident in the human gut is now known to provide a range of functions relevant to host health, many of the microbial members of the community have not yet been cultured or are represented by a limited number of isolates. We describe here the draft genome sequence of Turicibacter sanguinis PC909, isolated from a pooled healthy human fecal sample as part of the Australian Human Gut Microbiome Project.
Project description:Turicibacter sanguinis MOL361 (DSM 14220) is the reference and type strain for the Turicibacter genus, commonly found in the intestinal tract of animal species. Long-read sequencing was performed on this strain to complement publicly available Illumina HiSeq-based data, producing a complete annotated genome sequence.
