Abstract

We report the main characteristics of 'Selenomonas massiliensis' sp. nov., strain Marseille-P4036^T (= CSUR P4036). The culturomic combined with taxonogenomic methods were used to identify and characterize this new anaerobic bacterial species, which was isolated from an oral sample of a 25-year-old healthy woman.

Keywords: Culturomics; oral microbiota; taxonogenomics; ‘Selenomonas massiliensis’.
