Taxonomy

Description
The genome size is 2.94 Mbp, G+C percentage is 58.64%, with 99.33% completeness and 0.0% contamination. Strain CLA-AP-H34 was determined to be a new species based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, with the closest validly named match being Flavonifractor plautii (97.21%). Separation from existing Flavonifractor species was confirmed by ANI comparison, which gave a value of 82.25% to F. plautii. GTDB-Tk classification of strain CLA-AP-H34 as an unknown species within Flavonifractor supports the proposal of a novel species. Functional analysis showed the strain has 112 transporters, 14 secretion genes, and predicted utilization of starch and production of L-glutamate, riboflavin, butyrate, and folate. In total, 140 CAZymes were identified, with 19 different glycoside hydrolase families and 15 glycoside transferase families represented. The strain CLA-AP-H34 (phylum Bacillota, family Oscillospiraceae) was isolated from human faeces.
