Draft genome sequence of <i>Selenomonas sputigena</i> strain ATCC 33150 isolated from human mouth
<i>Selenomonas sputigena</i> is an anaerobic, motile, crescent-shaped, gram-negative bacterium found in the human oral cavity that is associated with dental caries and periodontitis. Strain ATCC 33150 was replaced as the type strain for <i>S. sputigena</i> and was described as atypical, as it fermented arabinose and displayed a unique pattern by polyacrylamide electrophoresis compared to other isolates. The genome of the atypical strain, ATCC 33150, is 2,601,282 base pairs in length, comprising 2,342 protein-coding genes, and a 54.68% GC content.
