Genome Sequence of Segmented Filamentous Bacteria Present in the Human Intestine
2019-10-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) colonize the small intestine of a variety of animals in a host-specific manner. SFB are physically attached to the host’s intestinal epithelium and affect several functions related to the immune system, among them IgA production and T-cell maturation. Until now, no human-specific SFB genome had been described. Here, we report the metagenomic reconstruction of...
