Complete genome sequence of the widely used coaggregation fusobacterial strain PK1594
Bibek G C, Shiqi Xu, Chenggang Wu
TL;DR
This paper presents the full genome sequence of a commonly used fusobacterial strain, revealing it belongs to a different species than previously thought.
Contribution
The paper provides the complete genome sequence of strain PK1594 and corrects its species classification using znpA analysis.
Findings
The genome includes a 2,357,192-bp chromosome and a duplicated 10,221-bp plasmid.
znpA analysis shows PK1594 is Fusobacterium hwasookii, not F. nucleatum.
Abstract
We report the complete genome sequence of the fusobacterial strain PK1594, widely used to study coaggregation between Fusobacterium nucleatum and oral bacteria. The assembly comprises a 2,357,192-bp chromosome and a 20,441-bp contig representing a duplicated 10,221-bp plasmid. znpA analysis indicates that PK1594 is Fusobacterium hwasookii rather than F. nucleatum.
