Whple genome sequence of Prevotella melaninogenica GAI 07411. Prevotella melaninogenica strain:GAI 07411

Prevotella melaninogenica is frequently isolated from not only periodontal pockets but also purulent infections. Similar to all species of the genus Prevotella, it is strictly anaerobic, gram-negative bacterium with non-spore forming coccobacilli. We used to the generation sequencing technique (PacBio RS II) to sequence the whole genome of Prevotella melaninogenica GAI 07411 isolated from the vagina. A number of potent virulence factors possessed by bacteria belonging to phylum Bacteroidetes were suggested by analyzing the genomic information. Therefore, the genomic information is indispensable to evaluate the pathogenicity and host interactions. This genomic information may provide insight into the functional activity of this strain.
