Urinicoccus timonensis gen. nov., sp. nov. strain Marseille-P3926T is a new species from the phylum Firmicutes and the family Peptoniphilaceae that was isolated from a human faeces sample. Genome was 1 978 908 bp long with a 41.1 G + C content. The closest species based on 16S ribosomal RNA was Peptoniphilus ivorii DSM 10022 with 90.8% sequence similarity. Considering phenotypic features, 16S rRNA sequence and comparative genome studies, we proposed Marseille- P3926T as the strain type of Urinicoccus timonensis gen. nov., sp. nov.
