title: Complete Genome Sequence of Akkermansia glycaniphila Strain PytT, a Mucin-Degrading Specialist of the Reticulated Python Gut.
abstract: Akkermansia glycaniphila is a novel Akkermansia species that was isolated from the intestine of the reticulated python and shares the capacity to degrade mucin with the human strain Akkermansia muciniphila MucTHere, we report the complete genome sequence of strain PytTof 3,074,121 bp. The genomic analysis reveals genes for mucin degradation and aerobic respiration.
