Abstract
Salivary stones, known as sialoliths, form within the salivary ducts due to abnormal salivary composition and cause painful symptoms, for which surgical removal is the primary treatment. This study explored the role of the salivary microbial communities in the formation of sialoliths. We conducted a comparative analysis of microbial communities present in the saliva and salivary stones, and sequenced the 16S rRNA gene in samples obtained from patients with sialoliths and from healthy individuals. Although the diversity in the saliva was high, the essential features of the microbial environment in sialoliths were low diversity and evenness. The association of microbial abundance between stones and saliva revealed a positive correlation between Peptostreptococcus and Porphyromonas, and a negative correlation for Pseudomonas in saliva. The functional potential differences between saliva and stones Bacterial chemotaxis and the citrate cycle were negatively correlated with most genera found in salivary stone samples. However, the functions required for organic compound degradation did not differ between the saliva samples. Although some microbes were shared between the sialoliths and saliva, their compositions differed significantly. Our study presents a novel comparison between salivary stones and salivary microbiomes, suggesting potential preventive strategies against sialolithiasis.

Salam LB, Obayori OS, Ilori MO, Amund OO. Chromium contamination accentuates changes in the microbiome and heavy metal resistome of a tropical agricultural soil. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 39:228. [PMID: 37338635 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-023-03681-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023]
Abstract
The impacts of hexavalent chromium (Cr) contamination on the microbiome, soil physicochemistry, and heavy metal resistome of a tropical agricultural soil were evaluated for 6 weeks in field-moist microcosms consisting of a Cr-inundated agricultural soil (SL9) and an untreated control (SL7). The physicochemistry of the two microcosms revealed a diminution in the total organic matter content and a significant dip in macronutrients phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen concentration in the SL9 microcosm. Heavy metals analysis revealed the detection of seven heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Fe, Cd, Se, Pb, Cr) in the agricultural soil (SL7), whose concentrations drastically reduced in the SL9 microcosm. Illumina shotgun sequencing of the DNA extracted from the two microcosms showed the preponderance of the phyla, classes, genera, and species of Actinobacteria (33.11%), Actinobacteria_class (38.20%), Candidatus Saccharimonas (11.67%), and Candidatus Saccharimonas aalborgensis (19.70%) in SL7, and Proteobacteria (47.52%), Betaproteobacteria (22.88%), Staphylococcus (16.18%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.76%) in SL9, respectively. Functional annotation of the two metagenomes for heavy metal resistance genes revealed diverse heavy metal resistomes involved in the uptake, transport, efflux, and detoxification of various heavy metals. It also revealed the exclusive detection in SL9 metagenome of resistance genes for chromium (chrB, chrF, chrR, nfsA, yieF), cadmium (czcB/czrB, czcD), and iron (fbpB, yqjH, rcnA, fetB, bfrA, fecE) not annotated in SL7 metagenome. The findings from this study revealed that Cr contamination induces significant shifts in the soil microbiome and heavy metal resistome, alters the soil physicochemistry, and facilitates the loss of prominent members of the microbiome not adapted to Cr stress.

Abstract
Obtaining complete, high-quality reference genomes is essential to the study of any organism. Recent advances in nanopore sequencing, as well as genome assembly and analysis methods, have made it possible to obtain complete bacterial genomes from metagenomic (i.e., multispecies) samples, including those from the human microbiome. In this study, methods are presented to obtain complete bacterial genomes from human saliva using complementary Oxford Nanopore (ONT) and Illumina sequencing. Applied to 3 human saliva samples, these methods resulted in 11 complete bacterial genomes: 3 Saccharibacteria clade G6 (also known as Ca. Nanogingivalaceae HMT-870), 1 Saccharibacteria clade G1 HMT-348, 2 Rothia mucilaginosa, 2 Actinomyces graevenitzii, 1 Mogibacterium diversum, 1 Lachnospiraceae HMT-096, and 1 Lancefieldella parvula; and one circular chromosome of Ruminococcaceae HMT-075 (which likely has at least 2 chromosomes). The 4 Saccharibacteria genomes, as well as the Actinomyces graeventizii genomes, represented the first complete genomes from their respective bacterial taxa. Aside from the complete genomes, the assemblies contained 147 contigs of over 500,000 bp each and thousands of smaller contigs, together representing a myriad of additional draft genomes including many which are likely nearly complete. The complete genomes enabled highly accurate pangenome analysis, which identified unique and missing features of each genome compared to its closest relatives with complete genomes available in public repositories. These features provide clues as to the lifestyle and ecological role of these bacteria within the human oral microbiota, which will be particularly useful in designing future studies of the taxa that have never been isolated or cultivated. IMPORTANCE Obtaining complete and accurate genomes is crucial to the study of any organism. Previously, obtaining complete genomes of bacteria, including those of the human microbiome, frequently required isolation of the organism, as well as low-throughput, manual sequencing methods to resolve repeat regions. Advancements in long-read sequencing technologies, including Oxford Nanopore (ONT), have made it possible to obtain complete, closed bacterial genomes from metagenomic samples. This study reports methods to obtain complete genomes from the human oral microbiome using complementary ONT and Illumina sequencing of saliva samples. Eleven complete genomes were obtained from 3 human saliva samples, with genomes of Saccharibacteria HMT-870, Saccharibacteria HMT-348, and Actinomyces graeventzii being the first complete genomes from their respective taxa. Obtaining complete bacterial genomes in a high-throughput manner will help illuminate the metabolic and ecological roles of important members of the human microbiota, particularly those that have remained recalcitrant to isolation and cultivation.

Abstract
Background The oral microbiota plays vital roles in both oral and systemic health, but limited studies have explored the transition of the female oral microbiota from preconception to pregnancy along with pronounced hormonal fluctuations. Aim To characterize the oral microbiota among women in preconception and pregnancy through a prospective study and to explore the associations between the oral microbiota and oral hygiene practices. Methods A total of 202 unstimulated saliva samples were collected from 101 women in both preconception and late pregnancy. The oral microbiota was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results The Ace and phylogenetic diversity (PD) index were significantly lower in the third trimester than preconception. The pathogenic taxa Prevotella and Atopobium parvulum were significantly higher during late pregnancy than preconception. Women with overall better oral hygiene practice showed lower richness and diversity in preconception compared to women with poorer oral hygiene practice. The abundance of pathogens such as Dialister during both preconception and pregnancy decreased among women with better oral hygiene practice. Conclusions The composition of the oral microbiota changed slightly from preconception to late pregnancy, with more pathogens in saliva samples during pregnancy. Improving oral hygiene practices has the potential to maintain oral micro-ecological balance.

Microb Biotechnol 2021; 15:1729-1743. [PMID: 34964273 PMCID: PMC9151333 DOI: 10.1111/1751-7915.13988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Treatment with rumen fluid improves methane production from non‐degradable lignocellulosic biomass during subsequent methane fermentation; however, the kinetics of xylanases during treatment with rumen fluid remain unclear. This study aimed to identify key xylanases contributing to xylan degradation and their individual activities during xylan treatment with bovine rumen microorganisms. Xylan was treated with bovine rumen fluid at 37°C for 48 h under anaerobic conditions. Total solids were degraded into volatile fatty acids and gases during the first 24 h. Zymography showed that xylanases of 24, 34, 85, 180, and 200 kDa were highly active during the first 24 h. Therefore, these xylanases are considered to be crucial for xylan degradation during treatment with rumen fluid. Metagenomic analysis revealed that the rumen microbial community’s structure and metabolic function temporally shifted during xylan biodegradation. Although statistical analyses did not reveal significantly positive correlations between xylanase activities and known xylanolytic bacterial genera, they positively correlated with protozoal (e.g., Entodinium, Diploplastron, and Eudiplodinium) and fungal (e.g., Neocallimastix, Orpinomyces, and Olpidium) genera and unclassified bacteria. Our findings suggest that rumen protozoa, fungi, and unclassified bacteria are associated with key xylanase activities, accelerating xylan biodegradation into volatile fatty acids and gases, during treatment of lignocellulosic biomass with rumen fluid.

Sequence analysis and specificity of distinct types of menaquinone methyltransferases indicate the widespread potential of methylmenaquinone production in bacteria and archaea.

Abstract
Menaquinone (MK) serves as an essential membranous redox mediator in various electron transport chains of aerobic and anaerobic respiration. In addition, the composition of the quinone/quinol pool has been widely used as a biomarker in microbial taxonomy. The HemN-like class C radical SAM methyltransferases (RSMTs) MqnK, MenK and MenK2 have recently been shown to facilitate specific menaquinone methylation reactions at position C-8 (MqnK/MenK) or C-7 (MenK2) to synthesize 8-methylmenaquinone, 7-methylmenaquinone and 7,8-dimethylmenaquinone. However, the vast majority of protein sequences from the MqnK/MenK/MenK2 family belong to organisms, whose capacity to produce methylated menaquinones has not been investigated biochemically. Here, representative putative menK and menK2 genes from Collinsella tanakaei and Ferrimonas marina were individually expressed in Escherichia coli (wild-type or ubiE deletion mutant) and the corresponding cells were found to produce methylated derivatives of the endogenous MK and 2-demethylmenaquinone. Cluster and phylogenetic analyses of 828 (methyl)menaquinone methyltransferase sequences revealed signature motifs that allowed to discriminate enzymes of the MqnK/MenK/MenK2 family from other radical SAM enzymes and to identify C-7-specific menaquinone methyltransferases of the MenK2 subfamily. This study will help to predict the methylation status of the quinone/quinol pool of a microbial species (or even a microbial community) from its (meta)genome and contribute to the future design of microbial quinone/quinol pools in a Synthetic Biology approach.

Abstract
The oral cavity is one of the most complex microbial environments; however, the complex nature of the salivary microbiota and the level of inorganic anions in the saliva of subjects with and without gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are poorly understood. The primary goals of this pilot research were to assess differences in salivary bacterial community composition and inorganic anion concentrations between patients with GERD and GERD-free people. Thus, the salivary microbiota within both groups was dominated by these genera: Streptococcus, Prevotella, Porphyromonas, Veillonella, Neisseria, Haemophilus, Fusobacterium, Rothia, and Leptotrichia. However, the relative abundances of the genera Actinomyces, Atopobium, Stomatobaculum, Ruminococcaceae_[G-2], Veillonella, and Leptotrichia were significantly higher in the saliva samples of patients with GERD, while the genera Porphyromonas, Gemella, Peptostreptococcus, and Neisseria were less abundant in this group. The concentrations of chloride, phosphate, and sulphate ions in the human saliva varied among all subjects and sampling time. These results broaden our knowledge of the salivary microbial community composition and chemistry of saliva of patients with GERD and GERD-free individuals.

Abstract
Medium-chain carboxylates such as n-caproate and n-caprylate are valuable chemicals, which can be produced from renewable feedstock by anaerobic fermentation and lactate-based microbial chain elongation. Acidogenic microbiota involved in lactate-based chain elongation and their interplay with lactic acid bacteria have not been characterized in detail yet. Here, the metabolic and community dynamics were studied in a continuous bioreactor with xylan and lactate as sole carbon sources. Four succession stages were observed during 148 days of operation. After an adaptation period of 36 days, a relatively stable period of 28 days (stage I) was reached with n-butyrate, n-caproate and n-caprylate productivities of 7.2, 8.2 and 1.8 gCOD L-1 d-1, respectively. After a transition period, the process changed to another period (stage II), during which 46% more n-butyrate, 51% less n-caproate and 67% less n-caprylate were produced. Co-occurrence networks of species based on 16S rRNA amplicon sequences and correlations with process parameters were analyzed to infer ecological interactions and potential metabolic functions. Diverse functions including hydrolysis of xylan, primary fermentation of xylose to acids (e.g., to acetate by Syntrophococcus, to n-butyrate by Lachnospiraceae, and to lactate by Lactobacillus) and chain-elongation with lactate (by Ruminiclostridium 5 and Pseudoramibacter) were inferred from the metabolic network. In stage I, the sub-network characterized by strongest positive correlations was mainly related to the production of n-caproate and n-caprylate. Lactic acid bacteria of the genus Olsenella co-occurred with potentially chain-elongating bacteria of the genus Pseudoramibacter, and their abundance was positively correlated with n-caproate and n-caprylate concentrations. A new sub-network appeared in stage II, which was mainly related to n-butyrate production and revealed a network of different lactic acid bacteria (Bifidobacterium) and potential n-butyrate producers (Clostridium sensu stricto 12). The synergy effects between lactate-producing and lactate-consuming bacteria constitute a division of labor cooperation of mutual benefit. Besides cooperation, competition between different taxa determined the bacterial community assembly over the four succession stages in this resource-limited system. During long-term reactor operation under constant conditions, chain-elongating bacteria were outcompeted by butyrate-producing bacteria, leading to the increase of n-butyrate yield at the cost of medium-chain carboxylate yields in this closed model system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Gram-positive, anaerobic cocci (GPAC) can cause infections in humans. Only a few cases of bacteraemia with GPAC have been reported. We describe the clinical and microbiological characteristics of GPAC bacteraemia. METHODS A retrospective population-based study of GPAC bacteraemia 2012-2016 in southern Sweden was performed. GPAC were identified using matrix-associated laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry or 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Etests were used to determine antibiotic susceptibilities. Data on patient and infection characteristics, treatment, and outcome were collected from the medical records. RESULTS A total of 226 episodes of GPAC bacteraemia in adults were studied; this corresponds to an annual incidence of 3.4 cases per 100,000 persons per year. The bacteria identified were Anaerococcus spp. (n = 43), Atopobium spp. (n = 7), Blautia spp. (n = 1), Finegoldia spp. (n = 15), Parvimonas spp. (n = 100), Peptoniphilus spp. (n = 52), Peptostreptococcus spp. (n = 2), and Ruminococcus spp. (n = 9) of which 200 isolates were identified to the species level. Resistance to imipenem and piperacillin was not identified, whereas resistance among the 229 isolates to penicillin was detected in four, to metronidazole in six, and clindamycin in 16 isolates. The median age of patients was 73 years (55-83, IQR), 57% were male and comorbidities were common. Fifty-one per cent of infections were polymicrobial. In 60% of cases a focus of infection was identified. Forty per cent of patients had either organ dysfunction or shock. The 30-day mortality was 11%, and nosocomial infections were over-represented among the deceased. CONCLUSIONS GPAC bacteraemia is much more common than previously reported. GPAC-bacteraemia is a condition with significant mortality mainly affecting elderly persons with comorbidities.

Abstract
Exposure to Formaldehyde (FA) results in many pathophysiological symptoms, however the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Given the complicated modulatory role of intestinal microbiota on human health, we hypothesized that interactions between FA and the gut microbiome may account for FA's toxicity. Balb/c mice were allocated randomly to three groups: a control group, a methanol group (0.1 and 0.3 ng/mL MeOH subgroups), and an FA group (1 and 3 ng/mL FA subgroups). Groups of either three or six mice were used for the control or experiment. We applied high-throughput sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene approaches and investigated possible alterations in the composition of mouse gut microbiota induced by FA. Changes in bacterial genera induced by FA exposure were identified. By analyzing KEGG metabolic pathways predicted by PICRUSt software, we also explored the potential metabolic changes, such as alpha-Linolenic acid metabolism and pathways in cancer, associated with FA exposure in mice. To the best of our knowledge, this preliminary study is the first to identify changes in the mouse gut microbiome after FA exposure, and to analyze the relevant potential metabolisms. The limitation of this study: this study is relatively small and needs to be further confirmed through a larger study.

Abstract
Clinical management of bacterial vaginosis (BV) is difficult owing to inaccurate diagnostic tests, limited drug choices, and a high rate of recurrence. To our knowledge, there has not been a previous study of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in community practice using next-generation sequencing (NGS). A case-control study (1 : 1 age-matched with and without BV) was undertaken in a series of 326 nongravid women of reproductive age with symptoms of BV to determine the prevalence of AMR genes. NGS was used to describe the complete vaginal microbiota and identify bacterial genes associated with resistance to: macrolides and/or lincosamides - ermA, ermB, ermC, erM, ermTR and mefA; tetracyclines, β-lactams, streptomycin, gentamicin and/or tobramycin - acrA, acrB, mecA, tet, tetA, tolC and aac2; 5-nitroimadazoles - nim and nimB; and triazoles - cdr1 and mdr1. An evidence base was created to inform treatment decisions applicable to individual patients. AMR genes were identified in all drug classes: macrolides, 35.2 %; lincosamides, 35.6 %; tetracyclines, 21.8 %; aminoglycosides (streptomycin, gentamicin and tobramycin), 5.2 % each; 5-nitroimidazoles, 0.3 %; and triazoles, 18.7 %. There was more than a fourfold-higher frequency of AMR genes in pathogens from BV than from non-BV patients for macrolides (58.2 versus 12.3 %, respectively), lincosamides (58.9 versus 12.3 %) and tetracyclines (35.6 versus 8.0 %) (Fisher's exact test; all p < 0.001). For each patient with BV, the spectrum of resistance genes was matched to the pathogens present. AMR genes were present in the majority of vaginal microbiomes of patients with symptoms of BV.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-positive, obligately anaerobic, short rod, designated strain HHRM1715(T), was isolated from the blood of a patient with Fournier's gangrene, complicated by sepsis. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain HHRM1715(T) was shown to belong to the genus Atopobium and was most closely related to Atopobium minutum (95 % similarity). The results of 16S rRNA-gene-based phylogenetic analysis, cellular fatty acid analysis and differential biochemical tests, showed that strain HHRM1715(T) represented a novel species of the genus Atopobium. We therefore describe Atopobium deltae sp. nov. with HHRM1715(T) ( = LMG 27987(T) = CCUG 65171(T)) as the type strain and propose an emended description of the genus Atopobium with regard to the DNA G+C content.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide production is a well-known trait of many bacterial species associated with the human body. In the presence of oxygen, the probiotic lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus johnsonii NCC 533 excretes up to 1 mM H(2)O(2), inducing growth stagnation and cell death. Disruption of genes commonly assumed to be involved in H(2)O(2) production (e.g., pyruvate oxidase, NADH oxidase, and lactate oxidase) did not affect this. Here we describe the purification of a novel NADH-dependent flavin reductase encoded by two highly similar genes (LJ_0548 and LJ_0549) that are conserved in lactobacilli belonging to the Lactobacillus acidophilus group. The genes are predicted to encode two 20-kDa proteins containing flavin mononucleotide (FMN) reductase conserved domains. Reductase activity requires FMN, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), or riboflavin and is specific for NADH and not NADPH. The Km for FMN is 30 ± 8 μM, in accordance with its proposed in vivo role in H(2)O(2) production. Deletion of the encoding genes in L. johnsonii led to a 40-fold reduction of hydrogen peroxide formation. H(2)O(2) production in this mutant could only be restored by in trans complementation of both genes. Our work identifies a novel, conserved NADH-dependent flavin reductase that is prominently involved in H(2)O(2) production in L. johnsonii.

Abstract
Coriobacterium glomerans Haas and König 1988, is the only species of the genus Coriobacterium, family Coriobacteriaceae, order Coriobacteriales, phylum Actinobacteria. The bacterium thrives as an endosymbiont of pyrrhocorid bugs, i.e. the red fire bug Pyrrhocoris apterus L. The rationale for sequencing the genome of strain PW2(T) is its endosymbiotic life style which is rare among members of Actinobacteria. Here we describe the features of this symbiont, together with the complete genome sequence and its annotation. This is the first complete genome sequence of a member of the genus Coriobacterium and the sixth member of the order Coriobacteriales for which complete genome sequences are now available. The 2,115,681 bp long single replicon genome with its 1,804 protein-coding and 54 RNA genes is part of the G enomic E ncyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.

Abstract
The species of the class Coriobacteriia are currently distinguished from other bacteria primarily on the basis of their branching in the 16S rRNA gene trees. No reliable molecular marker is known that distinguishes the bacteria of this class from other organisms. We report here the results of detailed phylogenetic and comparative analyses on 22 sequenced genomes from members of the class Coriobacteriia. Detailed comparative analyses on protein sequences from these genomes, reported here, have identified 66 conserved signature inserts or deletions (i.e. indels) (CSIs) in widely distributed proteins that are specific for a number of different clades of the class Coriobacteriia at multiple phylogenetic levels, which are also supported by phylogenetic analyses. A set of 24 CSIs in different proteins are specific for all sequenced members of the class Coriobacteriia, providing novel molecular markers distinguishing and delimiting this class. One additional CSI is uniquely present in all members of the class Coriobacteriia and the phylum Actinobacteria supporting their placement within this bacterial phylum. A set of 16 CSIs in divergent proteins are uniquely found in the genomes of all species for which sequences are available from the glucose-fermenting genera Coriobacterium, Collinsella, Atopobium and Olsenella, but they are not present in any other bacteria. The species from these genera also form a strongly supported clade (Clade I) in the phylogenetic trees based upon concatenated protein sequences and the 16S rRNA. An additional 10 CSIs in different proteins are specifically present in all members of the asaccharolytic genera Eggerthella, Cryptobacterium, Slackia and Gordonibacter for which sequence data is available. A clade consisting of these genera (Clade II) is also supported by our phylogenetic analyses. Within Clade I, two smaller clades, one consisting of the genera Coriobacterium and Collinsella and the other containing the genera Atopobium and Olsenella, are independently supported by multiple CSIs (eight and seven respectively) and our phylogenetic analyses. Based upon the results of phylogenetic studies and the identified molecular markers, which clearly distinguish and demarcate the above indicated clades of the class Coriobacteriia at different phylogenetic depths, we propose division of the class Coriobacteriia into two orders (viz. Coriobacteriales and Eggerthellales ord. nov.) and three families (viz. Coriobacteriaceae, Atopobiaceae fam. nov. and Eggerthellaceae fam. nov.). Additionally, descriptions of the class Coriobacteriia, the order Coriobacteriales and the family Coriobacteriaceea are also emended.

Abstract
A total of 211 complete and published genomes from anaerobic bacteria are analysed for the presence of secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters, in particular those tentatively coding for polyketide synthases (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS). We investigate the distribution of these gene clusters according to bacterial phylogeny and, if known, correlate these to the type of metabolic pathways they encode. The potential of anaerobes as secondary metabolite producers is highlighted.

Abstract
The phylum Actinobacteria harbors many important human pathogens and also provides one of the richest sources of natural products, including numerous antibiotics and other compounds of biotechnological interest. Thus, a reliable phylogeny of this large phylum and the means to accurately identify its different constituent groups are of much interest. Detailed phylogenetic and comparative analyses of >150 actinobacterial genomes reported here form the basis for achieving these objectives. In phylogenetic trees based upon 35 conserved proteins, most of the main groups of Actinobacteria as well as a number of their superageneric clades are resolved. We also describe large numbers of molecular markers consisting of conserved signature indels in protein sequences and whole proteins that are specific for either all Actinobacteria or their different clades (viz., orders, families, genera, and subgenera) at various taxonomic levels. These signatures independently support the existence of different phylogenetic clades, and based upon them, it is now possible to delimit the phylum Actinobacteria (excluding Coriobacteriia) and most of its major groups in clear molecular terms. The species distribution patterns of these markers also provide important information regarding the interrelationships among different main orders of Actinobacteria. The identified molecular markers, in addition to enabling the development of a stable and reliable phylogenetic framework for this phylum, also provide novel and powerful means for the identification of different groups of Actinobacteria in diverse environments. Genetic and biochemical studies on these Actinobacteria-specific markers should lead to the discovery of novel biochemical and/or other properties that are unique to different groups of Actinobacteria.

Abstract
Olsenella uli (Olsen et al. 1991) Dewhirst et al. 2001 is the type species of the genus Olsenella, which belongs to the actinobacterial family Coriobacteriaceae. The species is of interest because it is frequently isolated from dental plaque in periodontitis patients and can cause primary endodontic infection. The species is a Gram-positive, non-motile and non-sporulating bacterium. The strain described in this study was isolated from human gingival crevices. This is the first completed sequence of the genus Olsenella and the fifth sequence from a member of the family Coriobacteriaceae. The 2,051,896 bp long genome with its 1,795 protein-coding and 55 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
