Abstract

Taxonogenomics coupled with culturomics leads to descriptions of new bacteria. Thanks to this strategy, we report the main characteristics of "Peptoniphilus phoceensis" strain SIT15, a new bacterium isolated from a stool sample of a 1-year-old healthy Senegalese boy.

Keywords: Culturomics; gut microbiota; human; taxonogenomics; “Peptoniphilus phoceensis” sp. nov..
