Complete Genome Sequence of Akkermansia glycaniphila Strain Pyt T , a Mucin-Degrading Specialist of the Reticulated Python Gut
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: ABSTRACT Akkermansia glycaniphila is a novel Akkermansia species that was isolated from the intestine of the reticulated python and shares the capacity to degrade mucin with the human strain Akkermansia muciniphila Muc T . Here, we report the complete genome sequence of strain Pyt T of 3,074,121 bp. The genomic analysis reveals genes for mucin degradation and aerobic respiration.
