Abstract

Abstract Bacteroides coprosuis Whiteheadet al. 2005 belongs to the genusBacteroides, which is a member of the familyBacteroidaceae . Members of the genusBacteroides in general are known as beneficial protectors of animal guts against pathogenic microorganisms, and as contributors to the degradation of complex molecules such as polysaccharides.B. coprosuis itself was isolated from a manure storage pit of a swine facility, but has not yet been found in an animal host. The species is of interest solely because of its isolated phylogenetic location. The genome ofB. coprosuis is already the 5th sequenced type strain genome from the genusBacteroides . The 2, 991, 798 bp long genome with its 2, 461 protein-coding and 78 RNA genes and is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
