Complete Fusobacterium vincentii genomes generated by MinION and Illumina sequencing, followed by assembly with Unicycler.
Fusobacterium vincentii is a Gram-negative obligately anaerobic bacterium and a species of Fusobacteria in the family Fusobacteriaceae. Although this bacterium was formerly named Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. vincentii, it was reclassified to F. vincentii in 2021. F. vincentii is most abundant in the human oral cavity, especially in the dental plaque, and acts as a bridge bacterium that facilitates the aggregation of other bacteria. F. vincentii strain TDC100 was isolated from apical periodontitis lesions in 2008, and this strain exhibited strong adherence activity to type-I collagen. This study reports the complete genome of a Fusobacterium vincentii strain. The complete circular chromosome of strain TDC100 were obtained through a combination of short-read and long-read sequencing.
