Classification

Higher order taxa

Bacteria (Kingdom) – FCB Group (Domain) – Bacteroidetes (Phylum) – Bacteroidia (Class) – Bacteroidales (Order) – Porphyromonadaceae (Family) – Porphyromonas (Genus)

Species

  • Porphyromonas gingivalis
  • Type strain: strain 2561 = ATCC 33277= CCUG 25893 = CCUG 25928 = CIP 103683 = DSM 20709 = JCM 12257 = NCTC 11834 [1]

Species name and type strain (consult LPSN http://www.bacterio.net/index.html for this information)

Description and significance

Give a general description of the species (e.g. where/when was it first discovered, where is it commonly found, has it been cultured, functional role, type of bacterium [Gram+/-], morphology, etc.) and explain why it is important to study this microorganism. Examples of citations [2], [3]

Genome structure

Select a strain for which genome information (e.g. size, plasmids, distinct genes, etc.) is available.

strain: ATCC33277

The size of genome ATCC 33277 is 2 354 886 bp; GenBank: AP009380.1, consisted of a single circular chromosome containing 2090 CDSs (average size 970bp which covered 86.1% of the complete sequence) and having an average G + C content of 48.4%. The strain has 4 RNA operons (rrn, 5S rRNA-23S rRNA-tRNAAla-tRNAIle-16S rRNA) and 53 specific amino-acid tRNA genes.
