# Complete genome sequence of the widely used coaggregation fusobacterial strain PK1594

## 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.

## Key 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.
