“Intestinimonas gabonensis” sp. nov., a new bacterium detected from a Gabonese stool specimen

Abstract

Detection of new bacteria becomes a major part of culturomics studies coupled with taxonogenomics. Using these strategies, we report here the main characteristics of a new species, “Intestinimonas gabonensis” strain GM5. It is a bacterium isolated from a stool specimen from a 27-year-old man from Gabon.
