Abstract

Abstract Prevotella multisaccharivorax Sakamotoet al. 2005 is a species of the large genusPrevotella, which belongs to the familyPrevotellaceae . The species is of medical interest because its members are able to cause diseases in the human oral cavity such as periodontitis, root caries and others. Although 77Prevotella genomes have already been sequenced or are targeted for sequencing, this is only the second completed genome sequence of a type strain of a species within the genusPrevotella to be published. The 3, 388, 644 bp long genome is assembled in three non-contiguous contigs, harbors 2, 876 protein-coding and 75 RNA genes and is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
