Complete genome sequencing of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii strains isolated from the human gut. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii

The study aims at expanding current knowledge on the structure and diversity of genomes of the highly predominant human gut symbiont Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. Draft genomic sequencing was done for 9 fresh isolates and 2 strains from ATCC culture collection using Illumina Hiseq platform. For two strains PacBio II RS sequencing data was used to close the gaps and produce complete genome sequences.
