The full genome sequence of the novel leech bacterium Mucinivorans hirudinis
A novel bacterium was isolated from the crop of medicinal leech, Hirudo verbana. This bacterium was found to represent a new genus within the family Rikenellaceae of the phylum Bacteroidetes. The full genome sequence of the type strain (str. M3) was obtained in cooperation with Pacific Biosciences. Functional annotation was initially performed with RAST followed by manual curation.
