Complete genome sequence of Escherichia marmotae F12YCO47 isolated from a healthy human fecal sample

Daniel Ho et al. Microbiol Resour Announc. .

Abstract

Escherichia marmotae has been found in animals and the environment. Here, we isolated it from a healthy human fecal sample. The 4.91 Mb circular genome (GC content = 50.34%) is associated with three plasmids: pF12YCO47-2 (89.9 kb, 50.2% GC), pF12YCO47-3 (47.9 kb, 44.3% GC), and pF12YCO47-1 (95.4 kb, 47.2% GC).

Keywords: Escherichia marmotae; fecal microbiota; genome sequencing; human gut microbiome.
