Abstract

Abstract Segniliparus rugosus represents one of two species in the genusSegniliparus, the sole genus in the familySegniliparaceae . A unique and interesting feature of this family is the presence of extremely long carbon-chain length mycolic acids bound in the cell wall.S. rugosus is also a medically important species because it is an opportunistic pathogen associated with mammalian lung disease. This report represents the second species in the genus to have its genome sequenced. The 3, 567, 567 bp long genome with 3, 516 protein-coding and 49 RNA genes is part of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, Human Microbiome Project.
