Selenomonas ruminantium GA192
Bacillota (firmicutes)- Negativicutes - Selenomonadales - Selenomonadaceae
Introduction
Pseudoselenomonas ruminantium GA192T
Pseudoselenomonas ruminantium GA192T (DSM 2150) formerly Selenomonas ruminantium was isolated from bovine rumen contents from an animal fed fresh alfalfa in the USA [1]. GA192 is the type species of the genus Pseudoselenomonas within the family Selenomonadaceae and the type stain of the P. ruminantium species [2, 3]. GA192 is an anaerobic bacterium that ferments a broad range of carbohydrates and produces primarily propionate, lactate, and CO₂ [1, 2]. Lactate is not fermented [1], sulfate and fumarate but not nitrate are reduced.
The draft genome for PC 18 (3,387,070 bp) was generated through the Hungate1000 project with JGI [4]. A20,067 bp plasmid has been predicted from the genome sequence.
