Deskripsi
Kazumasa Fukuda et al. complete a new genome sequence for an uncultured bacterium detected in human respiratory tract named IOLA. The IOLA genome is found to be among the smallest and most AT-rich of known human-associated bacterial genomes and surveillance of clinical samples indicates that IOLA is in fact a human respiratory tract-associated bacterium.
