Characterization of newly isolated Dysosmobacter welbionis strains
This study includes the whole genome sequences of 23 strains of Dysosmobacter welbionis, a prevalent human gut bacterium. The strains were isolated from fecal samples of healthy adults in France using anaerobic culturing techniques. High-quality hybrid genome assemblies were generated using Illumina short-read and PacBio long-read sequencing technologies. Genomes were annotated for structural and functional features, including a novel myo-inositol fermentation pathway involved in butyrate production. These genome sequences contribute to understanding the metabolic diversity and probiotic potential of D. welbionis and support future research into host-microbe interactions.
