Abstract

Abstract Bacteroides helcogenes Bennoet al. 1983 is of interest because of its isolated phylogenetic location and, although it has been found in pig feces and is known to be pathogenic for pigs, occurrence of this bacterium is rare and it does not cause significant damage in intensive animal husbandry. The genome ofB. helcogenes P 36–108T is already the fifth completed and published type strain genome from the genusBacteroides in the familyBacteroidaceae . The 3, 998, 906 bp long genome with its 3, 353 protein-coding and 83 RNA genes consists of one circular chromosome and is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
