Proteromonas lacertae strain:LA Genome sequencing and assembly
P. lacertae is an anaerobic Stramenopile that occupies the intestinal tract of lizards. Proteromonas is a sister genus to Blastocystis, an intestinal parasite of humans, and inhabits a similar intestinal environment but is not associated with disease. This makes this organism a good candidate to investigate virulence factors of B. hominis
