Abstract

Bacillus niameyensis sp. nov. strain SIT3(T) (= CSUR P1266 = DSM 29725) is the type strain of B. niameyensis sp. nov. This Gram-positive strain was isolated from the digestive flora of a child with kwashiorkor and is a facultative anaerobic rod and a member of the Bacillaceae family. This organism is hereby described alongside its complete genome sequence and annotation. The 4 286 116 bp long genome (one chromosome but no plasmid) contains 4130 protein-coding and 66 RNA genes including five rRNA genes.

Keywords: Bacillus niameyensis; culturomics; genome; malnutrition; taxonogenomics.
