Discovery of a new species withinBacillusgenus in a stool sample from Gabon:"Bacillus massiliogabonensis"sp. nov.
The discovery of new bacteria from the human gut using a culturomics method is a novel field of increasing interest in microbiology. Here the main characteristics of"Bacillus massiliogabonensis"strain Marseille P2639, a new Gram-negative bacterium isolated from the stool sample of a healthy 16-year-old Gabonese boy, are reported.
