Tannerella forsythia

RANK: Species

TAXONOMY: Bacteroidetes/Chlorobi group -> Bacteroidetes -> Bacteroidia -> Bacteroidales -> Porphyromonadaceae -> Tannerella -> Tannerella forsythia

OVERVIEW:

The genome sequence NC_016610.1 is incorrectly attributed to the type strain FDC 338 = ATCC 43037. The sequence is for strain 92A2. This strain is not currently in ATCC, but we hope to have it deposited there within the next two weeks (today 10/7/14). We will post the ATCC number when it is assigned.Identified as a constituent of the oral microbiome by Human Oral Microbiome Database.

This species has been identified as a resident in the human gastrointestinal tract based on the phylogenetic framework of its small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences.[PMC 4262072]
