The butyrate-producing Megasphaera spp. predominate in the pig hindgut and may play important roles in gut health. Moreover, one Megasphaera isolate has been reported to produce the boar taint compound, skatole. Here, we provide a 2.58-Mbp draft genome of a pig hindgut isolate, Megasphaera sp. DJF_B143, unable to produce skatole.
产生丁酸盐的巨球形菌属在猪后肠中占主导地位,可能对肠道健康发挥重要作用。此外,据报道有一种巨球形菌分离株会产生公猪异味化合物粪臭素。在此,我们提供了一株猪后肠分离株——不产生粪臭素的巨球形菌DJF_B143的258万个碱基对的基因组草图。
