Strain Marseille-P1302 was isolated from the stool of a 2-year-old Nigerian boy suffering from Kwashiorkor, a form of severe acute malnutrition. The strain grows in aerobic atmosphere and bacterial cells are Gram-positive cocci ranging in diameter from 0.8 to 1 μm. Among species with standing in nomenclature, strain Marseille-P1302 exhibited a highest 16S rRNA sequence similarity of 94.97% with Brevilactibacter flavus strain VG341^T, but was phylogenetically-closest to Brevilactibacter sinopodophylli strains KCTC 33808^T. The draft genome of strain Marseille-P1302 was 2,934,258-bp-long with a 70.38% G + C content, and contained 2704 protein-coding genes and 55 RNAs that included 9 rRNA genes. On the basis of these data, we propose the creation of the new genus Nigeribacterium gen. nov., with strain Marseille-P1302^T (= CSUR P1302 = DSM 29084) being the type strain of the new species Nigeribacterium. massiliense gen. nov., sp. nov.

菌株 Marseille-P1302 从一名患有严重急性营养不良症的 2 岁尼日利亚男孩的粪便中分离出来。该菌株在有氧环境中生长，细菌细胞为革兰氏阳性球菌，直径为0.8-1μm。在已命名的物种中，Marseille-P1302 菌株与黄短杆菌菌株 VG341 T 的 16S rRNA 序列相似性最高，为 94.97% ，但^在系统发育上与中华短杆菌菌株 KCTC 33808 T^最接近. Marseille-P1302菌株的基因组草图长2,934,258-bp，G + C含量为70.38%，包含2704个蛋白质编码基因和55个RNA，其中包括9个rRNA基因。在这些数据的基础上，我们建议创建新属Nigeribacterium gen。nov.，菌株 Marseille-P1302 ^T (= CSUR P1302 = DSM 29084) 是新物种Nigeribacterium 的典型菌株。massiliense gen. 十一月，sp。十一月
