Abstract

Abstract Corynebacterium ihumii strain GD7T sp. nov. is proposed as the type strain of a new species, which belongs to the familyCorynebacteriaceae of the classActinobacteria . This strain was isolated from the fecal flora of a 62 year-old male patient, as a part of the culturomics study._Corynebacterium ihumii is a Gram positive, facultativly anaerobic, nonsporulating bacillus. Here, we describe the features of this organism, together with the high quality draft genome sequence, annotation and the comparison with other member of the genusCorynebacteria .C. ihumii genome is 2, 232, 265 bp long (one chromosome but no plasmid) containing 2, 125 protein-coding and 53 RNA genes, including 4 rRNA genes. The whole-genome shotgun sequence of_Corynebacterium ihumii strain GD7T sp. nov has been deposited in EMBL under accession number GCA_000403725.
