The genome size is 3.1 Mbp, G+C percentage is 54.69%, with 98.3% completeness and 0.0% contamination. It contains a plasmid (5,063 bp). The closest relative to strain CLA-JM-H11 is Ruthenibacterium lactatiformans (94.93%), the type species of this genus, based on 16S rRNA gene analysis. Placement of the isolate within the genus Ruthenibacterium was confirmed based on POCP comparison, with a value of 56.41% to the type species. Strain CLA-JM-H11 was confirmed to be distinct to R. lactatiformans based on ANI comparison (79.28%). GTDB-Tk classification confirmed this assignment as an unknown species within Ruthenibacterium. Functional analysis showed the strain has 143 transporters, 16 secretion genes, and predicted utilization of starch, and production of acetate, propionate, folate, and cobalamin. In total, 155 CAZymes were identified, with 27 different glycoside hydrolase families and 13 glycoside transferase families represented. The strain CLA-JM-H11 (phylum Bacillota, family Oscillospiraceae) was isolated from human faeces.
