Abstract

Collinsella aerofaciens, a rod-shaped nonmotile obligate anaerobe, is the most abundant actinobacterium in the gastrointestinal tract of healthy humans. An altered abundance of C. aerofaciens may be linked with several health disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome. In the present study, we report the complete genome sequence of C. aerofaciens strain indica.
