Abstract excerpt
An anaerobic isolate, strain AT7T, was cultivated from a stool sample of a morbidly obese French woman using a microbial culturomics approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain AT7T exhibited 96% nucleotide sequence similarity with Ruminococcus torques strain JCM 6553T (= ATCC 27756T = VPI B2-51T), currently the closest related species with a validly published name. The strain was observed to...
