Non-contiguous finished genome sequence and description of Herbaspirillum massiliense sp. nov.

Herbaspirillum massiliense strain JC206^T sp. nov. is the type strain of H. massiliense sp. nov., a new species within the genus Herbaspirillum. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy Senegalese patient. H. massiliense is an aerobic rod. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome se-quence and annotation. The 4,186,486 bp long genome (one chromosome but no plasmid) contains 3,847 protein-coding and 54 RNA genes, including 3 rRNA genes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
