Draft Genome Sequence of “
Candidatus
Bacteroides periocalifornicus,” a New Member of the
Bacteriodetes
Phylum Found within the Oral Microbiome of Periodontitis Patients
ABSTRACT
Here we present the draft genome of a distantly related member within the phylum
Bacteriodetes
, “
Candidatus
Bacteroides
periocalifornicus
.” The draft genome sequence was assembled with metagenomic data from a patient with periodontitis. The closest relative has less than 68% average nucleic identity, supporting a novel family within
Bacteriodetes
.
