Abstract

Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Actinomyces odontolyticus subsp. actinosynbacter strain XH001, isolated from the human oral cavity. Uniquely, it was discovered as a host bacterium to the ultrasmall epibiont TM7x, which is the first cultivated member of "Candidatus Saccharibacteria" (formerly candidate phylum TM7).
