Non-contiguous finished genome sequence and description of Alistipes timonensis sp nov.

Alistipes timonensis strain JC136(T) sp. nov. is the type strain of A. timonensis sp. nov., a new species within the genus Alistipes. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy patient. A. timonensis is an obligate anaerobic rod. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 3,497,779 bp long genome (one chromosome but no plasmid) contains 2,742 protein-coding and 50 RNA genes, including three rRNA genes.
