ABSTRACT

Bifidobacterium aesculapii DSM 26737T was isolated from feces of baby common marmoset. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this organism. This paper is the first published report of the genomic sequence of B. aesculapii.

GENOME ANNOUNCEMENT

Bifidobacteria are high-G+C-content Gram-positive bacteria that are commonly found in the human and animal gastrointestinal tracts. Bifidobacteria are widely used as probiotic organisms, which confer a health benefit to the host when administered in adequate amounts. Genome sequences of bifidobacterial strains residing in the human gastrointestinal tract have been determined (1). However, studies of bifidobacteria of nonhuman primates are very few. Novel species within the genus Bifidobacterium isolated from common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) have recently been reported (2–4). Bifidobacterium aesculapii DSM 26737T (= JCM 18761T) was isolated from fecal samples of baby common marmoset (3). B. aesculapii DSM 26737T is related to Bifidobacterium stellenboschense DSM 23968T, which was isolated from feces of tamarin (red-handed marmoset) (2), in the phylogenetic tree of the genus Bifidobacterium (3).

The B. aesculapii DSM 26737T genome was paired-end sequenced using Illumina's MiSeq platform. Genomic libraries containing 600 to 1,000 bp inserts were constructed and sequenced, yielding 3,782,020 sequences that provided 418-fold coverage from both ends of the genomic clones. The sequence reads were assembled using Newbler version 2.8 (Roche), and the assembled genome consists of 93 contigs with a total length of 2,693,486 bp. The genome has a G+C content of 64.8%, which is the higher G+C content in the Bifidobacterium species. The genome size was larger than those of bifidobacterial strains residing in the human gut. The draft genome of B. aesculapii DSM 26737T contained 2,070 predicted protein-coding genes and 58 tRNA genes. Then, we compared the draft genome of DSM 26737T with that of B. stellenboschense DSM 23968T (accession no. JGZP01000000) (5). Of the 2,070 protein-coding genes, 1,486 (72%) were shared by the both strains. The genome information of this species will be useful for further studies of its physiology, taxonomy, and ecology.

Nucleotide sequence accession numbers.The draft genome sequence for B. aesculapii DSM 26737T has been deposited in the DDBJ/GenBank/EMBL database under the accession numbers BCFK01000001 to BCFK01000093.
