Genome sequence of “Leucobacter massiliensis” sp. nov. isolated from human pharynx after travel to the 2014 Hajj

Abstract

“Leucobacter massiliensis” strain 122RC15T sp. nov. is a new species within the genus Leucobacter. The genome of this strain is described here. It was isolated from the pharynx of a 76-year-old Algerian female after travelling from the 2014 Hajj. “Leucobacter massiliensis” is a Gram-positive, aerobic bacillus. Here we describe the features including complete genome and annotation of this strain. The 3 136 406-bp long genome contains 2797 protein-coding genes and 49 RNA genes.
