This study presents the genome sequence of Bacteroides fragilis strain 86-5443-2-2, isolated from a piglet. The genome of this strain forms a single contig spanning 5.4 million base pairs with a 43.5%
A polypeptide that causes pore formation in target-cell membranes is implicated in the potent cytolytic activity of pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica. Pore-forming material was purified to apparent hom
