Complete genome sequence of Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis, the largest genome of a human-associated Archaea species

Aurore Gorlas et al. J Bacteriol. 2012 Sep.

Abstract

The present study describes the complete and annotated genome sequence of Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis strain B10 (DSM 24529(T), CSUR P135), which was isolated from human feces. The 2.6-Mb genome represents the largest genome of a methanogenic euryarchaeon isolated from humans. The genome data of M. luminyensis reveal unique features and horizontal gene transfer events, which might have occurred during its adaptation and/or evolution in the human ecosystem.
